Impements IETF Implements draft-ietf-httpbis-unprompted-auth to be used with HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3. Still experimental.

http-signature-auth-go

Implements https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-httpbis-unprompted-auth-07.html HTTP1.1, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 servers can place their resources behind HTTP Concealed authentication by using the HTTP handler provided by this library. This is currently only for interop purpose and not production use yet.

Examples

Server: Serving an HTTP URL behind Concealed Authentication

keysDB := http_signature_auth.NewKeysDatabase()
var keys []crypto.PublicKey = ...
for i := range keys {
    keysDB.AddKey(keyIDs[i], keys[i])
}
mux := http.NewServeMux()
handler := http_signature_auth.NewSignatureAuthHandler(keysDB, func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    fmt.Fprintf(w, "Hello, World!")
})
mux.Handle("/my-protected-resource", handler)
server := http.Server{
    TLSConfig: tlsConfig,
    Addr:      *bindAddr,
    Handler:   mux,
}
log.Info().Msgf("Start HTTPS over TLS on %s", *bindAddr)
go func() {
    err = server.ListenAndServeTLS("", "")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal().Msgf("cannot listen and serve TLS: %s", err)
    }
}()
log.Info().Msgf("Start HTTPS over QUIC on %s", *bindAddr)
quicServer := http3.Server{
    TLSConfig: tlsConfig,
    Addr:      *bindAddr,
    Handler:   mux,
}
err = quicServer.ListenAndServe()

Client: Accessing a resource through HTTP/3 using Concealed Auth (using quic-go)

request, err := http.NewRequest("GET", "https://example.org", nil)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal().Msgf("could not build request from URL: %s", err)
}

var signer *rsa.PrivateKey = ... // also works with ecdsa and ed25519

// we must set NextProtos to "h3" to enable HTTP/3
tlsConf := &tls.Config{
    NextProtos: []string{http3.NextProtoH3}
}
// establish a QUIC connection
log.Debug().Msgf("Establish QUIC connection to %s:%s", request.URL.Hostname(), port)
qConn, err := quic.DialAddr(context.Background(), request.Host, &tlsConf, nil)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal().Msgf("could establish QUIC connection: %s", err)
}

tlsConnState := qConn.ConnectionState().TLS

roundTripper := &http3.RoundTripper{
    Dial: func(ctx context.Context, addr string, tlsConf *tls.Config, quicConf *quic.Config) (quic.EarlyConnection, error) {
        return qConn.(quic.EarlyConnection), nil
    },
}


signature, err := http_signature_auth.NewSignatureForRequest(&tlsConnState, request, http_signature_auth.KeyID(keyID[:]), signer, signatureScheme)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal().Msgf("could not generate signature for request: %s", err)
}

authHeaderValue, err := signature.SignatureAuthorizationHeader()
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal().Msgf("could not generate signature authorization header: %s", err)
}

request.Header.Set("Authorization", authHeaderValue)
response, err := roundTripper.RoundTrip(request)
log.Debug().Msgf("negotiated protocol is %s", connState.NegotiatedProtocol)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal().Msgf("could not perform request: %s", err)
}
defer response.Body.Close()
fmt.Println("Got response", response.Status)
bodyContent, err := io.ReadAll(response.Body)
if err != nil {
    log.Error().Msgf("Could not read body content")
}
if bodyContent != nil {
    fmt.Println("Body:")
    fmt.Println(string(bodyContent))
}
