}Authentication
All calls to your webhook will have the header X-Freshchat-Signature. Using the provided public key, you can verify the signature to authenticate the webhook calls.
Given below is an example code snippet to authenticate webhook calls implemented in Java:
// in some languages you will need to trim out "--BEGIN PRIVATE KEY--" and "--END
PRIVATE KEY--" parts
public static PublicKey loadPublicKey(String publicKeyString) throws Exception {
byte [ ] data = Base64.getDecoder().decode(publicKeyString);
X509EncodedKeySpec spec = new X509EncodedKeySpec(data);
KeyFactory fact = KeyFactory.getInstance(RSA);
return fact.generatePublic(spec);
}
// pass the publicKey from above to this method, with signature and plaintext is webhook payload
// to verify if the payload and signature matches
public static boolean verify(String plainText, String signature, PublicKey publicKey)
throws Exception {
Signature publicSignature = Signature.getInstance( "SHA256withRSA" );
publicSignature.initVerify(publicKey);
publicSignature.update(plainText.getBytes(UTF_8));
byte [ ] signatureBytes = Base64.getDecoder().decode(signature);
return publicSignature.verify(signatureBytes);For a detailed description of the signing and encryption logic, refer https://niels.nu/blog/2016/java-rsa.html.
