Encrypt a JWE with a Symmetric Wrapping Key

See more JSON Web Encryption (JWE) Examples

Demonstrates Jwe.SetWrappingKey, which sets the symmetric key-wrapping key for a recipient. The key bytes are supplied in a named encoding such as hex or base64.

const std = @import("std");
const chilkat = @import("chilkat");

pub fn main(init: std.process.Init) !void {
    const alloc = init.arena.allocator();

    const jwe = try chilkat.Jwe.init();
    defer jwe.deinit();

    // Protected header: AES key-wrap with AES-256-GCM content encryption.
    const header = try chilkat.JsonObject.init();
    defer header.deinit();
    header.updateString("alg", "A256KW") catch {};
    header.updateString("enc", "A256GCM") catch {};
    jwe.setProtectedHeader(header) catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try jwe.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    // Set the symmetric key-wrapping key for recipient 0.  The key bytes are provided in the named
    // encoding (here base64).  In production, obtain the key from a secure source rather than hard-coding
    // it.
    const base64_key = "YWJjZGVmZ2hpamtsbW5vcHFyc3R1dnd4eXowMTIzNDU=";
    jwe.setWrappingKey(0, base64_key, "base64") catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try jwe.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    const jwe_compact = jwe.encrypt(alloc, "This is the secret content.", "utf-8") catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try jwe.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };
