I am looking for a way to validate the source of a data in my React Native application.
The application receive data in JSON format and I want to validate its source.
I don't need to encrypt the data itself but I want to process only validated data otherwise I will notify the user the data is not originated from a valid source.
I am using RN version 0.45.1
EDIT
I've read that its not a good idea to use JWS, for example:
https://paragonie.com/blog/2017/03/jwt-json-web-tokens-is-bad-standard-that-everyone-should-avoid
but instead use 'react-native-bcrypt' or 'react-native-crypto', the second package is faster??
After a lot of searching I found this solution:
https://github.com/kjur/jsrsasign
this library provides ways to:
generate:
https://kjur.github.io/jsrsasign/api/symbols/KEYUTIL.html#.generateKeypair
sign and verify:https://kjur.github.io/jsrsasign/api/symbols/KJUR.crypto.Signature.html#constructor:
and many more...

I'm using Paw to integrate with an API and it's a great tool, but the codebase I'm working in has lots of data in Ruby Hashes already that I would like to bring into Paw for testing. Moreover, I would like to be able to copy the data out of a Paw response for use in Ruby code rather than having to copy JSON and either store it as a String and parse it in my code or manually convert it to a native dictionary data structure. Is this possible?
How do I run/call/kickoff an external program (custom code) whenever certain attributes or objects are added or modified in OpenDJ’s database?
Here is my real world need. (Feel free to change my thought direction entirely).
Whenever a new email address gets created or changed in the OpenDJ database I want to initiate some java code that does some email verification/validation (send the “click here” link with a token to prove the user owns the email they just signed up with).
I know, I could use OpenIDM/AM to accomplish this but to take this a step further I need to validate other information and other credentials (custom) which users supply that are not supported by OpenIDM/AM suites.
Initiating/calling custom code upon ADD or MODIFY of specific objects and attributes is what I want and would like to know how to accomplish this. Preferably without having to scrape logs.
Please Help.

OpenDJ has a plugin interface where you can plug Java calls on Add or Modify. A sample of this kind of plugin is the attribute uniqueness which verifies that some attributes have a unique value in the directory.
The plugin interface javadoc can be found here : http://docs.forgerock.org/en/opendj/2.6.0/javadoc/org/opends/server/api/plugin/DirectoryServerPlugin.html
In a SPA app using breeze, how would I go about combining metadata from multiple sources for related data so that I can use them in 1 manager on the client. For example, I might have the following
Entity Framework Metadata from WebAPI controller (e.g. Account)
Custom Metadata from DTOs (e.g. Invoices)
Data from a third party service with metadata provided from client side metadata (e.g. Invoice transmission result)
In each case the data has related properties so I might want to be able to use Account.Transactions.TransmissionResults
UPDATE
I have tried several ways of getting this to work but to no avail. From Jay's answer, it is not possible at present to update the metadata from the server once it has been retrieved, so if and until that changes (see breeze user voice issue) I am left with one of the following approaches
1 Retrieve metadata from the server from Entity Framework and add metadata on the client to add extra entities. This worked to a degree but I could not add navigation properties from entity types added on the client to entity types retrieved from the server because I cannot add the foreign key association to the entity retrieved from the server, again back to the need to modifying metadata after it has been retrieved.
2 Write the complete metadata by hand, which will work but makes maintainability that much harder and seems wrong to be manually writing mostly the same code that the designer would write.
3 Generate most of the code from Entity Framework as described in the docs and then update it afterwards to add in the custom entities. Again similar issues than with option 2, it seems hacky.
Anyone else tried something similar? Is there something I am missing, which I could be, I've only started with breeze and js.
Thanks
A breeze EntityManager can have metadata from any number of DataService endpoints, and you can manually add metadata (new EntityTypes) on the client at any point. The only current restriction is that once you have metadata from a specific service, you can't change it. ( We are considering reviewing the last restriction).
So the question is, what are you trying to do that you can't right now?
I'm developing an API Server in Go and the server (at the moment) handles all translations for clients. When an API client fetches particular data it also asks for the translations that are available for the given section.
Ideally I want to have the following folder structure:
/messages
/home.en
/home.fr
/home.sv
/news.en
/news.fr
/news.sv
Where news and home are distinct modules.
Now the question I have for Revel is is it possible to fetch ALL language strings for a given module and given locale? For example pull all home strings for en-US.
EDIT:
I would like the output (something I can return to the client) a key:value string of translations.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
It seems to me that revel uses messaged based translation (just like gettext does), so you need
the original string to get the translation. These strings are stored in Config objects,
which are themselves stored in messages of i18n.go, sorted by language.
As you can see, this mapping is not exported, so you can't access it. The best way
to fix this is to write a function for what you want (getting the config by supplying a language)
or exporting one of the existing functions and create a pull request for revel.
You may workaround this by copying the code of loadMessageFile or by forking your version
of revel and exporting loadMessageFile or parseMessagesFile. This also is a great opportunity
to create a pull request.
Note that the localizations are stored in a INI file format parsed by robfig/config,
so manually parsing is also an option (although not recommended).
How would you suggest working with files that is stored on the note of a entity in Crm. Could you write a generic method that will enable you to access any type of file? Or would it be better to have a method for dealing with each type of file?
For example, we are going to be saving a mix of swf files and xml files on the entity, so would it make sense to have a method each for example:
GetXmlFilesOnAccount(accountid)
GetSwfFilesOnAccount(accountid)
When you upload an attachment to CRM the mimetype is also saved as part of the record information.
The following link contains a nice example of how to download the attachemt using a single method. http://crmscape.blogspot.com/2009/10/ms-crm-40-sending-attachments-to.html
The post is missing the actual query needed to retrieve the annotations but you can tell what columns are required from the method signature.
My suggestion using your methods:
* GetXmlFilesOnAccount(accountid)
* GetSwfFilesOnAccount(accountid)
Retrieve account activitypointers by regardingobjectid(in your case accountid guid)
Loop through returned activitypointers
Get attachments for each activitypointer (activitypointer.activityid = activitymimeattachment.activityid)
Store attachments (disk, etc)
You don't even need two methods. You can retrieve all attachment file types for a given note (annotation) with a single method.
Hope this helps.
I recently started an Open Source Project on CodePlex to accomplish exactly that. Feel free to check out the Project's Web Page at:

You can also view the source code under the "Source Code" tab of that same page.
