Set JWE Additional Authenticated Data from BinData

See more JSON Web Encryption (JWE) Examples

Demonstrates Jwe.SetAadBd, which sets external Additional Authenticated Data (AAD) to the exact bytes held in a BinData.

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

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

  // Protected header: AES key-wrap with AES-256-GCM content encryption.
  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;
  }

  // Set external Additional Authenticated Data (AAD) to the exact bytes in a BinData.  Passing an empty
  // BinData clears any previously configured AAD.
  const bdAad = new BinData();
  bdAad.appendString('context-info-v1', 'utf-8');
  try {
    jwe.setAadBd(bdAad);
  } catch {
    console.log(jwe.lastErrorText);
