Features

go get github.com/pardnchiu/go-jwt@latest · import path github.com/pardnchiu/go-jwt/core · Documentation

• Redis-Controlled Token Lifecycle — An Access Token must pass both the ES256 signature and a Redis JTI whitelist, so logout writes a revocation record that takes effect immediately instead of waiting for JWT expiry.
• Device Fingerprint Binding — A SHA-256 fingerprint of OS, browser, device type, and device ID binds both the Access Token and Refresh ID, so a stolen token fails on any other device.
• Lock-Guarded Transparent Refresh — Expired tokens are re-signed from the Refresh ID automatically, and a SETNX lock with Lua compare-and-delete unlock ensures one refresh per Refresh ID across instances.
• Versioned Refresh ID Rotation — The full token pair is reissued once refreshes exceed MaxVersion or the remaining TTL drops below a threshold; otherwise only the Access Token is re-signed to keep Redis writes low.
• ES256 Auto Keys with Dual Middleware — Keys load from file paths or inline PEM, or a P-256 key pair is generated on first start, with drop-in Gin and net/http middleware.
