# Easy VAPID generation

A set of VAPID encoding libraries for popular languages.

***PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SUBMIT YOUR FAVORITE LANGUAGE!***

VAPID is a draft specification for providing self identification.
see https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-webpush-vapid/
for the latest specification.

## TL;DR:

In short, you create a JSON blob that contains some contact
information about your WebPush feed, for instance:

```
{
    "aud": "https://YourSiteHere.example",
    "sub": "mailto://admin@YourSiteHere.example",
    "exp": 1457718878
}
```

You then convert that to a [JWT](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7519) encoded
with`alg = "ES256"`. The resulting token is the `Authorization` header
"Bearer ..." token, the Public Key used to sign the JWT is added to
the `Crypto-Key` set as "p256ecdsa=..."
