(Chilkat2-Python) JWE with Binary Data

Demonstrates how to create a JWE that contains a binary payload (such as a JPG image).

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

# This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

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

# Load a JPG file that will be the JWE payload.
jpgBytes = chilkat2.BinData()
success = jpgBytes.LoadFile("qa_data/jpg/starfish.jpg")
# Make sure your app checks the success/failure of the call to LoadFile..
print("Original JPG size = " + str(jpgBytes.NumBytes))

jwe = chilkat2.Jwe()

jweProtHdr = chilkat2.JsonObject()
jweProtHdr.AppendString("alg","A128KW")
jweProtHdr.AppendString("enc","A128CBC-HS256")
jwe.SetProtectedHeader(jweProtHdr)

jwe.SetWrappingKey(0,aesWrappingKey,"base64url")

# Encrypt and return the JWE in sbJwe:
sbJwe = chilkat2.StringBuilder()
success = jwe.EncryptBd(jpgBytes,sbJwe)
if (success != True):
    print(jwe.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Show the JWE:
print(sbJwe.GetAsString())
print("size of JWE: " + str(sbJwe.Length))

# ---------------------------------------------------------
# Decrypt to get the original JPG file..

jwe2 = chilkat2.Jwe()
success = jwe2.LoadJweSb(sbJwe)
if (success != True):
    print(jwe2.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Set the AES wrap key.
jwe2.SetWrappingKey(0,aesWrappingKey,"base64url")

# Decrypt.
jpgOriginal = chilkat2.BinData()
success = jwe2.DecryptBd(0,jpgOriginal)
if (success != True):
    print(jwe2.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

print("Decrypted JPG size = " + str(jpgOriginal.NumBytes))

# Save the decrypted JPG to a file.

print("success = " + str(success))

# The output of this program, when tested, was:
# Original JPG size = 6229
