Encrypt a JWE with a Symmetric Wrapping Key

See more JSON Web Encryption (JWE) Examples

Demonstrates Jwe.SetWrappingKey, which sets the symmetric key-wrapping key for a recipient. The key bytes are supplied in a named encoding such as hex or base64.

Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim jwe As ChilkatJwe
jwe.Initialize

'  Protected header: AES key-wrap with AES-256-GCM content encryption.
Dim header As ChilkatJsonObject
header.Initialize
header.UpdateString("alg", "A256KW")
header.UpdateString("enc", "A256GCM")
success = jwe.SetProtectedHeader(header)
If success = False Then
    Log(jwe.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If


'  Set the symmetric key-wrapping key for recipient 0.  The key bytes are provided in the named
'  encoding (here base64).  In production, obtain the key from a secure source rather than hard-coding
'  it.
Dim base64Key As String = "YWJjZGVmZ2hpamtsbW5vcHFyc3R1dnd4eXowMTIzNDU="
success = jwe.SetWrappingKey(0, base64Key, "base64")
If success = False Then
    Log(jwe.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If


Dim jweCompact As String = jwe.Encrypt("This is the secret content.", "utf-8")
If jwe.LastMethodSuccess = False Then
    Log(jwe.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If
