Get ECC Private Key in JWK Format (JSON Web Key)

See more ECC Examples

Demonstrates how to get an ECC private key in JWK (JSON Web Key) format.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.66 or later.

Java

import com.chilkatsoft.*;

public class ChilkatExample {

  static {
    try {
        System.loadLibrary("chilkat");
    } catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError e) {
      System.err.println("Native code library failed to load.\n" + e);
      System.exit(1);
    }
  }

  public static void main(String argv[])
  {
    boolean success = false;

    // Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.66 or later.

    // Load a PEM file into memory.
    CkStringBuilder sbPem = new CkStringBuilder();
    success = sbPem.LoadFile("qa_data/pem/ecc_privKey.pem","utf-8");
    if (success != true) {
        System.out.println("Failed to load PEM file.");
        return;
        }

    // Load the PEM into a private key object.
    CkPrivateKey privKey = new CkPrivateKey();
    success = privKey.LoadPem(sbPem.getAsString());
    if (success != true) {
        System.out.println(privKey.lastErrorText());
        return;
        }

    // Get the private key in JWK format:
    String jwk = privKey.getJwk();

    // The GetJwk method will return the JWK in the most compact JSON format possible,
    // as a single line with no extra whitespace.  To get a more human-readable JWK (for this example),
    // load into a Chilkat JSON object and emit non-compact:

    CkJsonObject json = new CkJsonObject();
    json.Load(jwk);
    json.put_EmitCompact(false);
    System.out.println("ECC Private Key in JWK format:");
    System.out.println(json.emit());

    // Sample output:
    // { 
    //   "kty": "EC",
    //   "crv": "P-256",
    //   "x": "oBUyo8CQAFPeYPvv78ylh5MwFZjTCLQeb042TjiMJxE",
    //   "y": "vvQyxZkUjJQUPU_0bCy3Pj5qQdfu8jwEfqEeYGZ95CU",
    //   "d": "EbVzfPnZPxfAyxqEZV05laAoJAl-_6Xt2O4mOB611sM"
    // }
    // 

    // Additional information can be added like this:
    json.AppendString("use","enc");
    json.AppendString("kid","123ABC");

    // Now examine the JSON:
    System.out.println(json.emit());

    // { 
    //   "kty": "EC",
    //   "crv": "P-256",
    //   "x": "oBUyo8CQAFPeYPvv78ylh5MwFZjTCLQeb042TjiMJxE",
    //   "y": "vvQyxZkUjJQUPU_0bCy3Pj5qQdfu8jwEfqEeYGZ95CU",
    //   "d": "EbVzfPnZPxfAyxqEZV05laAoJAl-_6Xt2O4mOB611sM",
    //   "use": "enc",
    //   "kid": "123ABC"
    // }
  }
