+
+Package jose aims to provide an implementation of the Javascript Object Signing
+and Encryption set of standards. For the moment, it mainly focuses on encryption
+and signing based on the JSON Web Encryption and JSON Web Signature standards.
+
+**Disclaimer**: This library contains encryption software that is subject to
+the U.S. Export Administration Regulations. You may not export, re-export,
+transfer or download this code or any part of it in violation of any United
+States law, directive or regulation. In particular this software may not be
+exported or re-exported in any form or on any media to Iran, North Sudan,
+Syria, Cuba, or North Korea, or to denied persons or entities mentioned on any
+US maintained blocked list.
+
+## Overview
+
+The implementation follows the
+[JSON Web Encryption](http://dx.doi.org/10.17487/RFC7516)
+standard (RFC 7516) and
+[JSON Web Signature](http://dx.doi.org/10.17487/RFC7515)
+standard (RFC 7515). Tables of supported algorithms are shown below.
+The library supports both the compact and full serialization formats, and has
+optional support for multiple recipients. It also comes with a small
+command-line utility
+([`jose-util`](https://github.com/square/go-jose/tree/master/jose-util))
+for dealing with JOSE messages in a shell.
+
+**Note**: We use a forked version of the `encoding/json` package from the Go
+standard library which uses case-sensitive matching for member names (instead
+of [case-insensitive matching](https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/json/current/msg03763.html)).
+This is to avoid differences in interpretation of messages between go-jose and
+libraries in other languages. If you do not like this behavior, you can use the
+`std_json` build tag to disable it (though we do not recommend doing so).
+
+### Versions
+
+We use [gopkg.in](https://gopkg.in) for versioning.
+
+[Version 1](https://gopkg.in/square/go-jose.v1) is the current stable version:
+
+ import "gopkg.in/square/go-jose.v1"
+
+The interface for [go-jose.v1](https://gopkg.in/square/go-jose.v1) will remain
+backwards compatible. We're currently sketching out ideas for a new version, to
+clean up the interface a bit. If you have ideas or feature requests [please let
+us know](https://github.com/square/go-jose/issues/64)!
+
+### Supported algorithms
+
+See below for a table of supported algorithms. Algorithm identifiers match
+the names in the
+[JSON Web Algorithms](http://dx.doi.org/10.17487/RFC7518)
+standard where possible. The
+[Godoc reference](https://godoc.org/github.com/square/go-jose#pkg-constants)
+has a list of constants.

+### Supported key types
+
+See below for a table of supported key types. These are understood by the
+library, and can be passed to corresponding functions such as `NewEncrypter` or
+`NewSigner`. Note that if you are creating a new encrypter or signer with a
+JsonWebKey, the key id of the JsonWebKey (if present) will be added to any
+resulting messages.
+
+ Algorithm(s) | Corresponding types
+ :------------------------- | -------------------------------
+ RSA | *[rsa.PublicKey](http://golang.org/pkg/crypto/rsa/#PublicKey), *[rsa.PrivateKey](http://golang.org/pkg/crypto/rsa/#PrivateKey), *[jose.JsonWebKey](https://godoc.org/github.com/square/go-jose#JsonWebKey)
+ ECDH, ECDSA | *[ecdsa.PublicKey](http://golang.org/pkg/crypto/ecdsa/#PublicKey), *[ecdsa.PrivateKey](http://golang.org/pkg/crypto/ecdsa/#PrivateKey), *[jose.JsonWebKey](https://godoc.org/github.com/square/go-jose#JsonWebKey)

+## Examples
+
+Encryption/decryption example using RSA:
+
+```Go
+// Generate a public/private key pair to use for this example. The library
+// also provides two utility functions (LoadPublicKey and LoadPrivateKey)
+// that can be used to load keys from PEM/DER-encoded data.
+privateKey, err := rsa.GenerateKey(rand.Reader, 2048)
+if err != nil {
+ panic(err)
+}
+
+// Instantiate an encrypter using RSA-OAEP with AES128-GCM. An error would
+// indicate that the selected algorithm(s) are not currently supported.
+publicKey := &privateKey.PublicKey
+encrypter, err := NewEncrypter(RSA_OAEP, A128GCM, publicKey)
+if err != nil {
+ panic(err)
+}
+
+// Encrypt a sample plaintext. Calling the encrypter returns an encrypted
+// JWE object, which can then be serialized for output afterwards. An error
+// would indicate a problem in an underlying cryptographic primitive.
+var plaintext = []byte("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet")
+object, err := encrypter.Encrypt(plaintext)
+if err != nil {
+ panic(err)
+}
+
+// Serialize the encrypted object using the full serialization format.
+// Alternatively you can also use the compact format here by calling
+// object.CompactSerialize() instead.
+serialized := object.FullSerialize()
+
+// Parse the serialized, encrypted JWE object. An error would indicate that
+// the given input did not represent a valid message.
+object, err = ParseEncrypted(serialized)
+if err != nil {
+ panic(err)
+}
+
+// Now we can decrypt and get back our original plaintext. An error here
+// would indicate the the message failed to decrypt, e.g. because the auth
+// tag was broken or the message was tampered with.
+decrypted, err := object.Decrypt(privateKey)
+if err != nil {
+ panic(err)
+}
+
+fmt.Printf(string(decrypted))
+// output: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
+```
+
+Signing/verification example using RSA:
+
+```Go
+// Generate a public/private key pair to use for this example. The library
+// also provides two utility functions (LoadPublicKey and LoadPrivateKey)
+// that can be used to load keys from PEM/DER-encoded data.
+privateKey, err := rsa.GenerateKey(rand.Reader, 2048)
+if err != nil {
+ panic(err)
+}
+
+// Instantiate a signer using RSASSA-PSS (SHA512) with the given private key.
+signer, err := NewSigner(PS512, privateKey)
+if err != nil {
+ panic(err)
+}
+
+// Sign a sample payload. Calling the signer returns a protected JWS object,
+// which can then be serialized for output afterwards. An error would
+// indicate a problem in an underlying cryptographic primitive.
+var payload = []byte("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet")
+object, err := signer.Sign(payload)
+if err != nil {
+ panic(err)
+}
+
+// Serialize the encrypted object using the full serialization format.
+// Alternatively you can also use the compact format here by calling
+// object.CompactSerialize() instead.
+serialized := object.FullSerialize()
+
+// Parse the serialized, protected JWS object. An error would indicate that
+// the given input did not represent a valid message.
+object, err = ParseSigned(serialized)
+if err != nil {
+ panic(err)
+}
+
+// Now we can verify the signature on the payload. An error here would
+// indicate the the message failed to verify, e.g. because the signature was
+// broken or the message was tampered with.
+output, err := object.Verify(&privateKey.PublicKey)
+if err != nil {
+ panic(err)
+}
+
+fmt.Printf(string(output))
+// output: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
+```

+reference](https://godoc.org/github.com/square/go-jose) for this package. The
+[`jose-util`](https://github.com/square/go-jose/tree/master/jose-util)
+subdirectory also contains a small command-line utility which might
+be useful as an example.
