Systems and techniques are described for generating canonical representations of JSON documents. One of the techniques includes receiving a first JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) document, wherein the first document includes one or more JSON objects, and wherein each JSON object includes one or more name-value pairs; generating a first canonical representation of the first JSON document, wherein generating the first canonical representation comprises: removing each non-significant whitespace character and non-significant line ending from the first document, for each JSON object, sorting the name-value pairs included in the JSON object lexicographically, and converting one or more instances of a number value type in the first document into a standardized representation of a double data type; and generating a first digital signature for the first JSON document using the first canonical representation.

Generating canonical representations of JSON documents

System and methods for providing plugin-based software verification are described. A method may include, upon receiving a first registration instruction containing a first harness plugin associated with a first automated software test, configuring, by a test harness lifecycle controller, a first test harness based on the first harness plugin to support the executing of the first automated software test, wherein the first automated software test is a software test executable by a computer without human intervention. The method may include, upon receiving a first execution instruction, executing, by a test execution engine instructed by the test harness lifecycle controller, the first software test in the first test harness. The method may further include, upon receiving a request for test results, transmitting, by the test harness lifecycle controller in response to the request, test results collected during the executing of the first automated software test.

Systems and techniques are described for digitally signing JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) messages. One of the techniques includes receiving a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) message; and digitally signing the JSON message, wherein digitally signing the JSON message comprises: generating a digital signature information JSON object; inserting the digital signature information JSON object into the JSON message; generating a canonical representation of the JSON message with the inserted digital signature information JSON object; generating a digital signature of the canonical representation of the JSON message; and inserting the digital signature into the digital signature information JSON object.
