The JAVA-SPIFFE library provides functionality to interact with the Workload API to fetch X.509 and JWT SVIDs and Bundles, and a Java Security Provider implementation to be plugged into the Java Security architecture. This is essentially an X.509-SVID based KeyStore and TrustStore implementation that handles the certificates in memory and receives the updates asynchronously from the Workload API. The KeyStore handles the Certificate chain and Private Key to prove identity in a TLS connection, and the TrustStore handles the trusted bundles (supporting federated bundles) and performs peer's certificate and SPIFFE ID verification.
This library contains three modules:
-
java-spiffe-core: Core functionality to interact with the Workload API, and to process and validate X.509 and JWT SVIDs and bundles.
-
java-spiffe-provider: Java Provider implementation.
-
java-spiffe-helper: Helper to store X.509 SVIDs and Bundles in Java Keystores in disk.
Supports Java 8+
The JARs can be downloaded from Maven Central.
The dependencies can be added to pom.xml
To import the java-spiffe-provider
component:
<dependency>
<groupId>io.spiffe</groupId>
<artifactId>java-spiffe-provider</artifactId>
<version>0.8.10</version>
</dependency>
The java-spiffe-provider
component imports the java-spiffe-core
component.
To just import the java-spiffe-core
component:
<dependency>
<groupId>io.spiffe</groupId>
<artifactId>java-spiffe-core</artifactId>
<version>0.8.10</version>
</dependency>
Using Gradle:
Import java-spiffe-provider
:
implementation group: 'io.spiffe', name: 'java-spiffe-provider', version: '0.8.10'
Import java-spiffe-core
:
implementation group: 'io.spiffe', name: 'java-spiffe-core', version: '0.8.10'
In case run on a osx-x86 architecture, add to your pom.xml
:
<dependency>
<groupId>io.spiffe</groupId>
<artifactId>grpc-netty-macos</artifactId>
<version>0.8.10</version>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
Using Gradle:
runtimeOnly group: 'io.spiffe', name: 'grpc-netty-macos', version: '0.8.10'
If you are running the aarch64 architecture (M1 CPUs), add to your pom.xml
:
<dependency>
<groupId>io.spiffe</groupId>
<artifactId>grpc-netty-macos-aarch64</artifactId>
<version>0.8.10</version>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
Using Gradle:
runtimeOnly group: 'io.spiffe', name: 'grpc-netty-macos-aarch64', version: '0.8.10'
Caveat: not all OpenJDK distributions are aarch64 native, make sure your JDK is also running natively
The java-spiffe-helper
module manages X.509 SVIDs and Bundles in Java Keystores.
Pull the java-spiffe-helper
image from ghcr.io/spiffe/java-spiffe-helper:0.8.10
.
