OpenIdConnectHandler can't decrypt token with RSA-OAEP-256 and A128GCM

[saasen]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Describe the bug

Platform: macOS Sequoia Version 15.3
Chip: Apple M2 Max
.NET version: 6 and 8 (read below for more information)
Relevant packages: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.OpenIdConnect v6.0.36 and v8.0.13

I'm trying to connect and authenticate users through an OIDC server. I'm getting a valid ID-token in response from the OIDC server. However, I'm struggling with getting decryption of the token to work.

Relevant OIDC setup code:

var privateKey = new JsonWebKey(File.ReadAllText("private-key.json"));

.AddOpenIdConnect("oidc", config =>
{
    config.ResponseType = "code";
    config.TokenValidationParameters = new TokenValidationParameters
    {
        TokenDecryptionKeys = new[] { privateKey }
    };

    // Given this is .NET 8, you can fallback to this one here. When using .NET 6, it's already the default
    // config.UseSecurityTokenValidator = true;

    config.Scope.Clear();
    config.Scope.Add("openid");
    config.Scope.Add("profile");
   
    config.UsePkce = true;
    config.SaveTokens = true;
    config.GetClaimsFromUserInfoEndpoint = true;
});

If I use .NET 6, I'm guessing the SecurityTokenValidator will be used, and I get the following error message:

IDX10609: Decryption failed. No Keys tried: token: '<redacted>'.

If I use .NET 8, the JsonWebTokenHandler is used by default, and I get the following error message (which makes sense, since that was changed in .NET 7 or 8:

IDX10618: Key unwrap failed using decryption Keys: 'Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.JsonWebKey, Use: 'enc',  Kid: '<redacted>', Kty: 'RSA', InternalId: '<redacted>'.
      '.
      Exceptions caught:
       ''.
      token: '<redacted>'.

I'm not sure why this isn't working? And the error message when using SecurityTokenValidator doesn't really make sense to me, but maybe it doesn't support this enc og alg so it skips using this decryption key?

This I've checked:

• I'm pretty sure the private key I have locally is correct. It got all the needed parts which are required
• The token I get from the OIDC server has the same kid as the private key I have

Another problem is that the token as part of the exception generated is corrupt (it only has 4 parts). Not sure why that happens, and/or if it's misleading.

Example header of token:

{
  "kid": "<redacted>",
  "cty": "JWT",
  "enc": "A128GCM",
  "alg": "RSA-OAEP-256"
}

Expected Behavior

I would expect the token to be correctly decrypted.

Steps To Reproduce

I would love to provide a reproduction, but I don't have any OIDC server I can use for that, and I would need to expose a private key as well...

Exceptions (if any)

1. IDX10609: Decryption failed. No Keys tried: token: '<redacted>'.

IDX10618: Key unwrap failed using decryption Keys: 'Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.JsonWebKey, Use: 'enc',  Kid: '<redacted>', Kty: 'RSA', InternalId: '<redacted>'.
      '.
      Exceptions caught:
       ''.
      token: '<redacted>'.

I have narrowed the problem down to where it fails. It seems like in the SupportedAlgorithms class in Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens it contains what RSA encryption algorithms it supports. It does support RSA-OAEP, but my token says RSA-OAEP-256. Isn't RSA-OAEP considered unsafe? RSA-OAEP-256 uses SHA-256. Is there any workaround I can do to make this work myself? If not, is this something you are considering supporting?

// Type: Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.SupportedAlgorithms
// Assembly: Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens, Version=8.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35

I tried adding support for decrypting RSA-OAEP-256 myself by implementing a custom ICryptoProvider. I also changed from passing a JsonWebKey into the TokenValidationParameters like this:

config.TokenValidationParameters = new TokenValidationParameters
{
    TokenDecryptionKeys = new[] { rsaSec }
};

I also changed to use my custom ICryptoProvider:

privateKey.CryptoProviderFactory.CustomCryptoProvider = new OAEP256CryptoProvider();

Here's the implementation of my custom ICryptoProvider (taken from AzureAD/azure-activedirectory-identitymodel-extensions-for-dotnet#1293):

public class OAEP256CryptoProvider : ICryptoProvider
{
    public const string OAEP_256 = "RSA-OAEP-256";

    public bool IsSupportedAlgorithm(string algorithm, params object[] args)
    {
        return (algorithm == OAEP_256);
    }

    public object Create(string algorithm, params object[] args)
    {
        return new RsaOaepKeyWrapProvider(args[0] as SecurityKey, algorithm);
    }

    public void Release(object cryptoInstance)
    {
    }

    private class RsaOaepKeyWrapProvider : KeyWrapProvider
    {
        public RsaOaepKeyWrapProvider(SecurityKey key, string algorithm)
        {
            Key = (RsaSecurityKey) key;
            Algorithm = algorithm;
        }

        protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
        {
        }

        public override byte[] UnwrapKey(byte[] keyBytes)
        {
            return Key.Rsa.Decrypt(keyBytes, RSAEncryptionPadding.OaepSHA256);
        }

        public override byte[] WrapKey(byte[] keyBytes)
        {
            return Key.Rsa.Encrypt(keyBytes, RSAEncryptionPadding.OaepSHA256);
        }

        public override string Algorithm { get; }
        public override string Context { get; set; }
        public override RsaSecurityKey Key { get; }
    }
}

The code runs, but fails when unwrapping the key in some interop code:

Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.OpenIdConnect.OpenIdConnectHandler[17]
      Exception occurred while processing message.
      Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.SecurityTokenKeyWrapException: IDX10618: Key unwrap failed using decryption Keys: 'Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.RsaSecurityKey, KeyId: '<redacted>', InternalId: '<redacted>'.
      '.
      Exceptions caught:

Not sure if this helps...

I got a little further by generating a new pair of private/public JWKs. I also added the following in my launchSettings.json:

"DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH": "/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3/lib"

This helped, but now I have a different error. For some reason it's trying to load BCrypt.dll? That won't work on Mac, will it?

Based on the cyrptography documentation it says AES-GCM is supported and OAEP (I'm not sure why I can't see 256 in that table), so I don't understand what is not working. Shouldn't this work on Mac on .NET 6 and above?

[saasen]

I managed to get it working by implementing my own AES128GCM AuthenticatedEncryptionProvider:

private class Net8AlgorithmProvider : AuthenticatedEncryptionProvider
{
    public Net8AlgorithmProvider(SecurityKey key, string algorithm) : base(key, algorithm)
    {
    }
    
    protected override bool IsSupportedAlgorithm(SecurityKey key, string algorithm)
    {
        return algorithm == SecurityAlgorithms.Aes128Gcm;
    }

    public override AuthenticatedEncryptionResult Encrypt(byte[] plaintext, byte[] authenticatedData, byte[]? iv)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

    public override byte[] Decrypt(byte[] ciphertext, byte[] authenticatedData, byte[] iv, byte[] authenticationTag)
    {
        var clearBytes = new byte[ciphertext.Length];
        using var aesGcm = new AesGcm(GetKeyBytes(Key));
        aesGcm.Decrypt(iv, ciphertext, authenticationTag, clearBytes, authenticatedData);
        return clearBytes;
    }
}

I had to expand the ICryptoProvider like follows:

public class OAEP256CryptoProvider : ICryptoProvider
{
    public const string OAEP_256 = "RSA-OAEP-256";
    public const string AES_128 = "A128GCM";

    public bool IsSupportedAlgorithm(string algorithm, params object[] args)
    {
        return algorithm is OAEP_256 or SecurityAlgorithms.Aes128Gcm;
    }

    public object Create(string algorithm, params object[] args)
    {
        if (algorithm == OAEP_256)
        {
            return new RsaOaepKeyWrapProvider(args[0] as SecurityKey, algorithm);
        }
        else if (algorithm == SecurityAlgorithms.Aes128Gcm)
        {
            return new Net8AlgorithmProvider((SecurityKey)args[0], algorithm);
        }
        else
        {
            return null;
        }
    }

    public void Release(object cryptoInstance)
    {
    }
}

I would love to understand why I need to do this, and why it's not working natively...

Also, based on this, it should work on Mac?
