Encrypt Content to a JWE

See more JSON Web Encryption (JWE) Examples

Demonstrates Jwe.Encrypt, which encrypts a string and returns the resulting JWE. The charset argument converts the text to bytes before encryption.

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    let jwe = CkoJwe()!

    //  Set the JWE protected header, specifying the key-management algorithm (alg) and the content-
    //  encryption algorithm (enc).
    let header = CkoJsonObject()!
    header.updateString(jsonPath: "alg", value: "A256KW")
    header.updateString(jsonPath: "enc", value: "A256GCM")
    success = jwe.setProtectedHeader(json: header)
    if success == false {
        print("\(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.
    var base64Key: String? = "YWJjZGVmZ2hpamtsbW5vcHFyc3R1dnd4eXowMTIzNDU="
    success = jwe.setWrappingKey(index: 0, encodedKey: base64Key, encoding: "base64")
    if success == false {
        print("\(jwe.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    //  Encrypt the content.  The 2nd argument is the charset used to convert the text to bytes.  The
    //  returned string is the JWE (compact serialization by default).
    var jweCompact: String? = jwe.encrypt(content: "This is the secret content.", charset: "utf-8")

        print("\(jwe.lastErrorText!)")
