JWE with DEFLATE Compression

See more JSON Web Encryption (JWE) Examples

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

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

#include <CkStringBuilder.h>
#include <CkJwe.h>
#include <CkJsonObject.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    // 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.

    sbPlainText.AppendLine(line,bCrLf);

    // The text to be encrypted:
    std::cout << sbPlainText.getAsString() << "\r\n";

    CkJwe jwe;

    // 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.
    CkJsonObject jweProtHdr;

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

    std::cout << "size of compressed JWE: " << sbJweCompressed.get_Length() << "\r\n";

    // Now create a JWE without compression.
    jweProtHdr.Delete("zip");
    // Make sure to update the shared protected header:
    jwe.SetProtectedHeader(jweProtHdr);

    // automatically decompressed (inflated) after decrypting.
