message = { 'iss': 'https://example.com/', 'sub': 'yosida95', 'iat': 1485969205, 'exp': 1485972805, }

with open('rsaprivatekey.pem', 'rb') as fh: signingkey = jwkfrom_pem(fh.read())

jwt = JWT() compactjws = jwt.encode(message, signingkey, 'RS256')

with open('rsapublickey.json', 'r') as fh: verifyingkey = jwkfrom_dict(json.load(fh))

messagereceived = jwt.decode(compactjws, verifying_key)

assert message == message_received
