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).

Background. The protected header is integrity-protected and applies to all recipients. It is configured before encrypting.

let jwe = chilkat::Jwe::new();

// Build the JWE protected header.  The "alg" member names the key-management algorithm and the "enc"
// member names the content-encryption algorithm.
let header = chilkat::JsonObject::new();
let _ = header.update_string("alg", "A256KW");
let _ = header.update_string("enc", "A256GCM");

// Set the protected header on the JWE.  The protected header is integrity-protected and applies to
// all recipients.
