Encrypt a JWE with a Password (PBES2)

See more JSON Web Encryption (JWE) Examples

Demonstrates Jwe.SetPassword, which sets the PBES2 password for a recipient. The example uses PBES2-HS256+A128KW key management with AES-128-GCM content encryption.

Background. PBES2 derives a key-wrapping key from a password using a salt and iteration count, allowing password-based JWE encryption. The password should come from a secure source.
Note
This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

var success = false;

var jwe = new CkJwe();

var header = new CkJsonObject();

header.UpdateString("enc","A128GCM");
success = jwe.SetProtectedHeader(header);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(jwe.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Set the PBES2 password for recipient 0.  The password should come from a secure source rather than
//  being hard-coded.
