Example: Public-key Encryption

Wrapping

<?php
use ParagonIE\Paseto\Builder;
use ParagonIE\Paseto\Keys\SymmetricKey;
use ParagonIE\Paseto\Protocol\Version4;
use ParagonIE\Paserk\Operations\Key\SealingPublicKey;
use ParagonIE\Paserk\Types\Seal;

$version = new Version4();

// First, you need a sealing keypair.

// $sealingSecret = ParagonIE\Paserk\Operations\Key\SealingSecretKey::generate();
// $sealingPublic = $sealingSecret->getPublicKey();
// var_dump($sealingSecret->encode(), $sealingPublic->encode());

$sealingPublic = SealingPublicKey::fromEncodedString(
    "vdd1m2Eri8ggYYR5YtnmEninoiCxH1eguGNKe4pes3g",
    $version
);
$sealer = new Seal($sealingPublic);

// Generate a random one-time key, which will be encrypted with the public key:
$key = SymmetricKey::generate($version);

// Seal means "public key encryption":
$paserk = $sealer->encode($key);

// Now let's associate this PASERK with a PASETO that uses the local key:
$paseto = Builder::getLocal($key, $version)
    ->with('test', 'readme')
    ->withExpiration(
        (new DateTime('NOW'))
            ->add(new DateInterval('P01D'))
    )
    ->withFooterArray(['kid' => $sealer->id($key)])
    ->toString();

var_dump($paserk, $paseto);

Unwrapping

<?php

$version = new Version4();

// From previous example:

// Keys for unsealing:

// Unwrap the sytmmetric key for `v4.local.` tokens.
$sealer = new Seal($sealingPublic, $sealingSecret);
$unwrapped = $sealer->decode($paserk);

// Parse the PASETO
$parsed = PasetoParser::getLocal($unwrapped, ProtocolCollection::v4())
    ->parse($paseto);

// Get the claims from the parsed and validated token:
var_dump($parsed->getClaims());

// Observe the Key ID is the same as the value stored in the footer.
var_dump(Lid::encode($version, $paserk));
