JWE using "dir" Direct use of Shared Symmetric Key

See more JSON Web Encryption (JWE) Examples

Demonstrates how to create a JWE using the "dir" alg -- which is to directly use a shared symmetric key.

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

// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.
package com.test;

import android.app.Activity;
import com.chilkatsoft.*;

import android.widget.TextView;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class SimpleActivity extends Activity {

  private static final String TAG = "Chilkat";

  // Called when the activity is first created.
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    boolean success = false;

    // This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    CkJwe jwe = new CkJwe();

    // First build the JWE Protected Header..
    CkJsonObject jweProtHdr = new CkJsonObject();
    jweProtHdr.AppendString("alg","dir");
    jweProtHdr.AppendString("enc","A128GCM");

    // Don't forget to actually provide the protected header to the JWE object:
    jwe.SetProtectedHeader(jweProtHdr);

    // The JWE is to use 128-bit AES GCM encryption as specified by the "enc" parameter.
    // Given that the "alg" = "dir", we are to directly specify the AES GCM key.
    // (It is assumed that the decrypting side also has knowledge of the direct key to be used..)

    // Our key will be these 16 hex bytes: 000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F

    // The SetWrappingKey method is also used for "dir" direct keys.
    // However, if there are multiple recipients, they must all share the same CEK (Content Encryption Key),
    // which is specified by calling SetWrappingKey with an index of 0.
