Improve the documentation, especially around the use of the keys.
See here for an example.

I'm using Paseto.Core Nuget from https://github.com/daviddesmet/paseto-dotnet, and I'm trying to create v4 public PASETO token with this. My code:
public async Task<TokenResponse> GenerateAsync(Client client, TokenRequest tokenRequest, string issuer, string audience)
{
var privateEd25519Key = await File.ReadAllBytesAsync("private.pem");
var pasetoToken = new PasetoBuilder()
.Use(ProtocolVersion.V4, Purpose.Public)
.WithKey(privateEd25519Key, Encryption.AsymmetricSecretKey)
.Issuer(issuer)
.Subject(tokenRequest.ClientId)
.Audience(audience)
.NotBefore(DateTime.UtcNow)
.IssuedAt(DateTime.UtcNow)
.Expiration(DateTime.UtcNow.AddSeconds(client.AccessTokenLifetime))
.TokenIdentifier(Guid.NewGuid().ToString())
.AddClaim("client_id", tokenRequest.ClientId)
.AddClaim("scopes", tokenRequest.Scopes)
.Encode();
return new TokenResponse
{
AccessToken = pasetoToken,
Lifetime = client.AccessTokenLifetime,
Scope = tokenRequest.Scopes
};
}
}
Besides, due to the rather unclear documentation, I don't know if I'm really creating a token signed with a private key or encrypted.

Here is my solution:
public async Task<TokenResponse> GenerateAsync(Client client, TokenRequest tokenRequest, string issuer, string audience)
{
var ed25519pkcs8 = await File.ReadAllTextAsync("private.pem");
var privatePemReader = new PemReader(new StringReader(ed25519pkcs8));
var ed25519pkcs8Parameters = (Ed25519PrivateKeyParameters)privatePemReader.ReadObject();
ISigner signer = new Ed25519Signer();
signer.Init(true, ed25519pkcs8Parameters);
var pasetoToken = new PasetoBuilder()
.Use(ProtocolVersion.V4, Purpose.Public)
.WithKey(signer.GenerateSignature(), Encryption.AsymmetricSecretKey)
.Issuer(issuer)
.Subject(tokenRequest.ClientId)
.Audience(audience)
.NotBefore(DateTime.UtcNow)
.IssuedAt(DateTime.UtcNow)
.Expiration(DateTime.UtcNow.AddSeconds(client.AccessTokenLifetime))
.TokenIdentifier(Guid.NewGuid().ToString())
.AddClaim("client_id", tokenRequest.ClientId)
.AddClaim("scopes", tokenRequest.Scopes)
.Encode();
return new TokenResponse
{
AccessToken = pasetoToken,
Lifetime = client.AccessTokenLifetime,
Scope = tokenRequest.Scopes
};
}
It turned out that WithKey doesn't support PEM files, so you had to get the private key out of PKCS#8.
