JWE using ECDH-ES+A256KW

See more JSON Web Encryption (JWE) Examples

Create a JWE with the following public/private key pair:

{
    "kty": "EC",
    "d": "jZCffzVqJjryBH4EoaN0oD-TyLXrW2XHoDdIuPZnk8c",
    "use": "enc",
    "crv": "P-256",
    "kid": "evEK2thJMsWxBYRivXI8ykUf6n6zizLiLCGH3s58wKs",
    "x": "LOakgGvxWBsWbCPLY6Vq6OuBktIqG8POXFXe7ngQ2oM",
    "y": "voJvS6I-Mc4qqmEA_G2hLQqBck3a3vqaJbmzY7YPUD4",
    "alg": "ECDH-ES+A256KW"
}

Also shows how to decrypt.
