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).

    var success = false;

    var jwe = new chilkat.Jwe();

    //  Build the JWE protected header.  The "alg" member names the key-management algorithm and the "enc"
    //  member names the content-encryption algorithm.
    var header = new chilkat.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.
