JWE using "dir" Direct use of Shared Symmetric Key

See more JSON Web Encryption (JWE) Examples

Demonstrates how to create a JWE using the "dir" alg -- which is to directly use a shared symmetric key.

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

; First build the JWE Protected Header..
$oJweProtHdr = ObjCreate("Chilkat.JsonObject")

$oJweProtHdr.AppendString("enc","A128GCM")

; Don't forget to actually provide the protected header to the JWE object:
$oJwe.SetProtectedHeader($oJweProtHdr)

; The JWE is to use 128-bit AES GCM encryption as specified by the "enc" parameter.
; Given that the "alg" = "dir", we are to directly specify the AES GCM key.
; (It is assumed that the decrypting side also has knowledge of the direct key to be used..)

; Our key will be these 16 hex bytes: 000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F

; The SetWrappingKey method is also used for "dir" direct keys.
; However, if there are multiple recipients, they must all share the same CEK (Content Encryption Key),
; which is specified by calling SetWrappingKey with an index of 0.
