Validate the at_hash Claim of an ID Token

Demonstrates how to hash an access token to compare it with the at_hash claim of an ID token. Chilkat2 Perl

# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# This example uses a Google access_token + id_token that looks like this:

#  {
#   "access_token": "ya29.a0...0f",
#   "expires_in": 3599,
#   "scope": "openid https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email",
#   "token_type": "Bearer",
#   "id_token": "eyJhb...o5nQ"
# }

my $success = $jsonToken->LoadFile('qa_data/tokens/google_sample_id_token.json');
if (!$success) {
    print "Failed to load the JSON file...\n";
    exit;
}

# Use Chilkat's JWT API to examine the id_token..
my $jwt = Chilkat2::Jwt->new;
my $idToken = $jsonToken->StringOf('id_token');

# Extract the JOSE header..
my $jose = $jwt->GetHeader($idToken);

my $jsonHeader = Chilkat2::JsonObject->new;
$jsonHeader->Load($jose);
$jsonHeader->EmitCompact(0);
print $jsonHeader->Emit(), "\n";

# The JOSE header looks like this:

# {
#   "alg": "RS256",
#   "kid": "e8799db06287515556213c80acbcfd022fb302a9",
#   "typ": "JWT"

# The at_hash is the Access Token hash value. Its value is the base64url encoding of the
# left-most half of the hash of the octets of the ASCII representation of the access_token value,
# where the hash algorithm used is the hash algorithm used in the alg Header Parameter of the
# ID Token's JOSE Header. For instance, if the alg is RS256, hash the access_token value with SHA-256,
# then take the left-most 128 bits and base64url encode them. The at_hash value is a case sensitive string.
