Set the JWE Protected Header

See more JSON Web Encryption (JWE) Examples

Demonstrates Jwe.SetProtectedHeader, which sets the integrity-protected JWE header from a JsonObject. The header specifies the key-management algorithm (alg) and content-encryption algorithm (enc).

import sys
import chilkat2

success = False

jwe = chilkat2.Jwe()

# Build the JWE protected header.  The "alg" member names the key-management algorithm and the "enc"
# member names the content-encryption algorithm.
header = chilkat2.JsonObject()
header.UpdateString("alg","A256KW")
header.UpdateString("enc","A256GCM")

# Set the protected header on the JWE.  The protected header is integrity-protected and applies to
# all recipients.
success = jwe.SetProtectedHeader(header)
if (success == False):
    print(jwe.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

print("Protected header set.")
