JWT: correct way to verify AUD claim

I'm in context of managing an openId jws, and I'm not sure about how to verify the aud claim.

In details, suppose that I've an application id myapp.site.com and I receive an aud which value is myapp.site.com|*|ANY. I've not found specifications about this format, but reading the aud specification into https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html#IDToken I've supposed to explode the string myapp.site.com|*|ANY using the "pipe" as separator, and then verify if this array contains the aspected client id (ie myapp.site.com).

My question is: whatabout the * and ANY? there's some specifications about this format? where can I retrieve informations?

Thanks in advance,

Sim.

Solution

  • That looks like a custom thing that is not a standard that I have seen anywhere else, so I guess its up to you to parse it as it is. At the same time the purpose of the audience is for the receiver of a token to be sure the token is aimed for it and not someone else. So its a security risk to accept any token even if the signature is valid.
