(Chilkat2-Python) JWE with DEFLATE Compression

Demonstrates how to DEFLATE ("zip") compress the JWE payload prior to encryption.

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.

# Create some plaintext to be encrypted.
# This example will demonstrate with and without DEFLATE (zip) compression.

# Build the JWE Protected Header: {"alg":"A128KW","enc":"A128CBC-HS256","zip":"DEF"}
# The "zip":"DEF" parameter indicates that the plaintext payload should
# be compressed prior to encryption.

# automatically decompressed (inflated) after decrypting.
