Cryptographic key to JSON Web Key using javascript

Question

I am a newbie in JavaScript or GatewayScript. I have a requirement where I need to convert the content of a.pem (which is in DataPower under local:///cert or can be added into a crypto object) to JWK.

Could anyone help me with the starting point on how to develop a javascript to

1. refer the crypto key object from DataPower (example crypto key object JWKCryptoCertObj)
2. Decrypt the crypto key object (example JWKCryptoCertObj.pem)
3. Convert the content of the key to JSON Web Key ( jwk.readCertificate() )

So far I have got to know that jwk.readCertificate() can help me to convert a key object to a JWK.

I have tried the below piece of code to fetch it:

var jwk = require('jwk'); var myJWK = jwk.readCertificate('cerjwk'); console.log(myJWK);

However, I get the below error in DataPower:

Could anyone help me with the issue here? Thanks in advance!!

Answer 1

There is no need to convert the certificate. Just add it into a Crypto Key object and use the name (eg "crykey-my-key") of the object in the call, eg:

const jwk = require('jwk');
const myKeyJWK = jwk.readCertificate('crykey-my-key');

Answer 2

It finally worked, the thing that was needed to be changed was the cert, instead of the key.

Here is the working code:

var ctx = session.name('INPUT')|| session.createContext('INPUT');
var hm = require('header-metadata');
//var headers = hm.current;
var sm = require('service-metadata');
var uriIn=sm.getVar("var://service/URI");
var jwk = require('jwk');
var myJWK = jwk.readCertificate('qa.developer.citigroup.net');
//headers.set('X-new-header', myJWK);
//headers.set('Content-Type','application/json');
console.log(myJWK);
ctx.setVariable('yourjwk',myJWK);
session.output.write(myJWK);
