Get ECC Private Key in JWK Format (JSON Web Key)

See more ECC Examples

Demonstrates how to get an ECC private key in JWK (JSON Web Key) format.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.66 or later.

C

#include <C_CkStringBuilder.h>
#include <C_CkPrivateKey.h>
#include <C_CkJsonObject.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    BOOL success;
    HCkStringBuilder sbPem;
    HCkPrivateKey privKey;
    const char *jwk;
    HCkJsonObject json;

    success = FALSE;

    // Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.66 or later.

    // Load a PEM file into memory.
    sbPem = CkStringBuilder_Create();
    success = CkStringBuilder_LoadFile(sbPem,"qa_data/pem/ecc_privKey.pem","utf-8");
    if (success != TRUE) {
        printf("Failed to load PEM file.\n");
        CkStringBuilder_Dispose(sbPem);
        return;
    }

    // Load the PEM into a private key object.
    privKey = CkPrivateKey_Create();
    success = CkPrivateKey_LoadPem(privKey,CkStringBuilder_getAsString(sbPem));
    if (success != TRUE) {
        printf("%s\n",CkPrivateKey_lastErrorText(privKey));
        CkStringBuilder_Dispose(sbPem);
        CkPrivateKey_Dispose(privKey);
        return;
    }

    // Get the private key in JWK format:
    jwk = CkPrivateKey_getJwk(privKey);

    // The GetJwk method will return the JWK in the most compact JSON format possible,
    // as a single line with no extra whitespace.  To get a more human-readable JWK (for this example),
    // load into a Chilkat JSON object and emit non-compact:

    json = CkJsonObject_Create();
    CkJsonObject_Load(json,jwk);
    CkJsonObject_putEmitCompact(json,FALSE);
    printf("ECC Private Key in JWK format:\n");
    printf("%s\n",CkJsonObject_emit(json));

    // Sample output:
    // { 
    //   "kty": "EC",
    //   "crv": "P-256",
    //   "x": "oBUyo8CQAFPeYPvv78ylh5MwFZjTCLQeb042TjiMJxE",
    //   "y": "vvQyxZkUjJQUPU_0bCy3Pj5qQdfu8jwEfqEeYGZ95CU",
    //   "d": "EbVzfPnZPxfAyxqEZV05laAoJAl-_6Xt2O4mOB611sM"
    // }
    // 

    // Additional information can be added like this:
    CkJsonObject_AppendString(json,"use","enc");
    CkJsonObject_AppendString(json,"kid","123ABC");

    // Now examine the JSON:
    printf("%s\n",CkJsonObject_emit(json));

    // { 
    //   "kty": "EC",
    //   "crv": "P-256",
    //   "x": "oBUyo8CQAFPeYPvv78ylh5MwFZjTCLQeb042TjiMJxE",
    //   "y": "vvQyxZkUjJQUPU_0bCy3Pj5qQdfu8jwEfqEeYGZ95CU",
    //   "d": "EbVzfPnZPxfAyxqEZV05laAoJAl-_6Xt2O4mOB611sM",
    //   "use": "enc",
    //   "kid": "123ABC"
    // }
