HTTP message signatures provide a mechanism for end-to-end authenticity and integrity for components of an HTTP message.

This PHP SDK is designed to simplify the process of generating digital signature headers and also provides a method to validate the digital signature headers.

Digital Signatures for Public API Calls

Due to regulatory requirements emanating from SCA for our European/UK sellers, we are requiring our developers to add a digital signature for every HTTP call that is made on behalf of a EU/UK seller to certain APIs.

This SDK is generic and the signature scheme is compliant with these upcoming IETF standards (currently not yet RFCs).

• draft-ietf-httpbis-message-signatures-16
• draft-ietf-httpbis-digest-headers-11

Features

This SDK is intended to generate required message signature headers, as per the above IETF standards. There is also an example included with the SDK.

This SDK incorporates

• Generation of the following HTTP message signature headers:
  • Content-Digest: This header includes a SHA-256 digest over the HTTP payload (as specified in draft-ietf-httpbis-digest-headers-11), if any. It is not required to be sent for APIs that do not include a request payload (e.g. GET requests).
  • Signature-Input: This header indicates which headers and pseudo-headers are included, as well as the order in which they are used when calculating the signature. It is created as specified in draft-ietf-httpbis-message-signatures-16
  • Signature: The value of the Signature header is created as described in Section 3.1, Creating a Signature, of IETF draft-ietf-httpbis-message-signatures-16. It uses the Private Key value generated by the Key Management API.
  • x-ebay-signature-key: This header includes the JWE that is created using the Key Management API
• generateSignatureHeaders method to generate all required headers

For more details on Digital Signatures for eBay APIs please refer to the documentation.
