How to encrypt JWT security token?

Question

I need to secure my web-token with signing and encryption. I wrote the next lines of code:

var tokenHandler = new JwtSecurityTokenHandler();
var tokenDescrip         


        

Answer 1

Try the following example

Updated Jul-2019: .NET Core, Asp.net Core

1.Create JWT

private string CreateJwt(string sub, string jti, string issuer, string audience)
{
    var claims = new[]
    {
        new Claim(JwtRegisteredClaimNames.Sub, sub),
        new Claim(JwtRegisteredClaimNames.Jti, jti),
    };

    var key = new SymmetricSecurityKey(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("SecretKeySecretKeySecretKeySecretKeySecretKeySecretKeySecretKeyS"));
    var creds = new SigningCredentials(key, SecurityAlgorithms.HmacSha256);
    var encryptingCredentials = new EncryptingCredentials(key, JwtConstants.DirectKeyUseAlg, SecurityAlgorithms.Aes256CbcHmacSha512);

    var jwtSecurityToken = new JwtSecurityTokenHandler().CreateJwtSecurityToken(
        issuer,
        audience,
        new ClaimsIdentity(claims),
        null,
        expires: DateTime.UtcNow.AddMinutes(5),
        null,
        signingCredentials: creds,
        encryptingCredentials: encryptingCredentials
        );
    var encryptedJWT = new JwtSecurityTokenHandler().WriteToken(jwtSecurityToken);

    return encryptedJWT;
}

2.Add to ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) in Startup.cs

    services.AddAuthentication(options =>
{
    options.DefaultAuthenticateScheme = JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme;
    options.DefaultChallengeScheme = JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme;
})
.AddJwtBearer(options =>
{
    options.TokenValidationParameters = new TokenValidationParameters
    {
        ValidateIssuer = true,
        ValidateAudience = true,
        ValidateLifetime = true,
        ValidateIssuerSigningKey = true,

        ValidIssuer = (string)Configuration.GetSection("JwtToken").GetValue(typeof(string), "Issuer"),
        ValidAudience = (string)Configuration.GetSection("JwtToken").GetValue(typeof(string), "Audience"),
        IssuerSigningKey = new SymmetricSecurityKey(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("SecretKeySecretKeySecretKeySecretKeySecretKeySecretKeySecretKeyS")),
        TokenDecryptionKey = new SymmetricSecurityKey(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("SecretKeySecretKeySecretKeySecretKeySecretKeySecretKeySecretKeyS")),
        ClockSkew = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(0),
    };
});
