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.

llSuccess = .F.

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

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

lcPlaintext = "Live long and prosper."

loJwe = createobject("CkJwe")

// First build the JWE Protected Header..
loJweProtHdr = createobject("CkJsonObject")
loJweProtHdr.AppendString("alg","dir")
loJweProtHdr.AppendString("enc","A128GCM")

// Don't forget to actually provide the protected header to the JWE object:
loJwe.SetProtectedHeader(loJweProtHdr)

// 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.

lnRecipientIndex = 0
loJwe.SetWrappingKey(lnRecipientIndex,"000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F","hex")
