## [5.0.0] - 2015-04-11

### Changed

 - [sign] Only set defautl `iat` if the user does not specify that argument.

  https://github.com/auth0/node-jsonwebtoken/commit/e900282a8d2dff1d4dec815f7e6aa7782e867d91

  https://github.com/auth0/node-jsonwebtoken/commit/a77df6d49d4ec688dfd0a1cc723586bffe753516

### Security

 - [verify] Update to jws@^3.0.0 and renaming `header.alg` mismatch exception to `invalid algorithm` and adding more mismatch tests.

  As `jws@3.0.0` changed the verify method signature to be `jws.verify(signature, algorithm, secretOrKey)`, the token header must be decoded first in order to make sure that the `alg` field matches one of the allowed `options.algorithms`. After that, the now validated `header.alg` is passed to `jws.verify`

 As the order of steps has changed, the error that was thrown when the JWT was invalid is no longer the `jws` one:
 ```
 { [Error: Invalid token: no header in signature 'a.b.c'] code: 'MISSING_HEADER', signature: 'a.b.c' }
 ```

 That old error (removed from jws) has been replaced by a `JsonWebTokenError` with message `invalid token`.

 > Important: versions >= 4.2.2 this library are safe to use but we decided to deprecate everything `< 5.0.0` to prevent security warnings from library `node-jws` when doing `npm install`.

### Security

 - [asymmetric-keys] Making sure a token signed with an asymmetric key will be verified using a asymmetric key.
   When the verification part was expecting a token digitally signed with an asymmetric key (RS/ES family) of algorithms an attacker could send a token signed with a symmetric algorithm (HS* family).

  The issue was caused because the same signature was used to verify both type of tokens (`verify` method parameter: `secretOrPublicKey`).

  This change adds a new parameter to the verify called `algorithms`. This can be used to specify a list of supported algorithms, but the default value depends on the secret used: if the secretOrPublicKey contains the string `BEGIN CERTIFICATE` the default is `[ 'RS256','RS384','RS512','ES256','ES384','ES512' ]` otherwise is `[ 'HS256','HS384','HS512' ]`.
