Encrypt Binary Content to a JWE

See more JSON Web Encryption (JWE) Examples

Demonstrates Jwe.EncryptBd, which encrypts binary content held in a BinData and writes the resulting JWE into a StringBuilder.

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

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

  // Set the JWE protected header, specifying the key-management algorithm (alg) and the content-
  // encryption algorithm (enc).
  const header = new JsonObject();
  header.updateString('alg', 'A256KW');
  header.updateString('enc', 'A256GCM');
  try {
    jwe.setProtectedHeader(header);
  } 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;
  }

  // Encrypt binary content held in a BinData, writing the resulting JWE into a StringBuilder.
  const bdContent = new BinData();
  bdContent.appendString('Binary content to encrypt.', 'utf-8');

  const sbJwe = new StringBuilder();
  try {
    jwe.encryptBd(bdContent, sbJwe);
  } catch {
    console.log(jwe.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  console.log(sbJwe.getAsString());
