Encrypt Content to a JWE

See more JSON Web Encryption (JWE) Examples

Demonstrates Jwe.Encrypt, which encrypts a string and returns the resulting JWE. The charset argument converts the text to bytes before encryption.

import 'package:chilkat/chilkat.dart';

void main() {
  final jwe = CkJwe();

  // Set the JWE protected header, specifying the key-management algorithm (alg) and the content-
  // encryption algorithm (enc).
  final header = CkJsonObject();
  header.updateString('alg', 'A256KW');
  header.updateString('enc', 'A256GCM');
  try {
    jwe.setProtectedHeader(header);
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // The 256-bit key-wrapping key (base64) for recipient index 0.  In production, obtain the key
  // from a secure source rather than hard-coding it.
  final base64Key = 'YWJjZGVmZ2hpamtsbW5vcHFyc3R1dnd4eXowMTIzNDU=';
  try {
    jwe.setWrappingKey(0, base64Key, 'base64');
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // Encrypt the content.  The 2nd argument is the charset used to convert the text to bytes.  The
  // returned string is the JWE (compact serialization by default).
  final String jweCompact;
  try {
    jweCompact = jwe.encrypt('This is the secret content.', 'utf-8');
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  print(jweCompact);
