A JOSE implementation in Python

|Build Status| |Coverage Status|

The JavaScript Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE) technologies - JSON
Web Signature (JWS), JSON Web Encryption (JWE), JSON Web Key (JWK), and
JSON Web Algorithms (JWA) - collectively can be used to encrypt and/or
sign content using a variety of algorithms. While the full set of
permutations is extremely large, and might be daunting to some, it is
expected that most applications will only use a small set of algorithms
to meet their needs.

Principles
----------

This is a JOSE implementation that is fully compatible with Google App Engine
which requires the use of the PyCrypto library.

Thanks

This library was originally based heavily on the work of the guys over at PyJWT_.
