Information processing apparatus, authorization system, and verification method
According to the present invention, an information processing apparatus that verifies a signed token is provided. The apparatus comprises a holding unit for holding key information for verifying the signed token, an obtainment unit for obtaining new key information from a server that provides the key information, and holding the new key information in the holding unit, if the key information for verifying a received signed token is not held in the holding unit, and a verification unit for verifying the signed token using the key information if the key information for verifying the received signed token is held in the holding unit.
1. An information processing apparatus, as a resource server, that performs verification of a signed token, the information processing apparatus comprising:
a storage holding first key information for the verification;
at least one memory storing instructions, and
at least one processor to execute the instructions to cause the information processing apparatus to:
receive a signed token;
obtain second key information from an authorization server that provides the second key information, if key information for the received signed token is not held in the storage;
hold the second key information in the storage; and
perform, if the key information for the received signed token is held in the storage, the verification of the received signed token using the key information,
wherein if the verification of the signed token received along with a request has succeeded, a resource is provided in response to the request.
2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, if the key information for the received signed token is not held in the storage and the received signed token was issued after an obtainment time of the first key information, the second key information is obtained from the authorization server, and
wherein the instructions further cause the information processing apparatus to save an obtainment time at which the second key information was obtained from the authorization server.
3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the received signed token includes identification information of key information, and
wherein, if the key information for the received signed token is not held in the storage and the identification information included in the received signed token has been issued by the authorization server, the second key information is obtained from the authorization server.
4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the information processing apparatus is connected to the authorization server and a client that sends the request for the resource along with the signed token provided by the authorization server.
5. A signed token verification method carried out by an information processing apparatus that performs verification of a signed token as a resource server, the method comprising:
holding first key information for the verification in a storage;
receiving a signed token;
obtaining second key information from an authorization server that provides the second key information, if key information for the received signed token is not held in the storage;
holding the second key information in the storage; and
performing, if the key information for the received signed token is held in the storage, the verification of the received signed token using the key information,
wherein if the verification of the signed token received along with a request has succeeded, a resource is provided in response to the request.
