Decrypt a JWE into BinData

See more JSON Web Encryption (JWE) Examples

Demonstrates Jwe.DecryptBd, which decrypts a recipient of a loaded JWE and writes the plaintext bytes into a BinData.

import { BinData, Jwe } from '@chilkat/react-native'

function chilkatExample() {
  const jwe = new Jwe();

  // Load the JWE compact serialization to be decrypted.
  const jweCompact = 'eyJhbGciOiJBMjU2S1ciLCJlbmMiOiJBMjU2R0NNIn0.<...>.<iv>.<ciphertext>.<tag>';
  try {
    jwe.loadJwe(jweCompact);
  } catch {
    console.log(jwe.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.
  const base64Key = 'YWJjZGVmZ2hpamtsbW5vcHFyc3R1dnd4eXowMTIzNDU=';
  try {
    jwe.setWrappingKey(0, base64Key, 'base64');
  } catch {
    console.log(jwe.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // Decrypt recipient index 0, writing the plaintext bytes into a BinData.
  const bd = new BinData();
  try {
    jwe.decryptBd(0, bd);
  } catch {
    console.log(jwe.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  console.log(`Decrypted ${bd.numBytes} bytes.`);
