(C++) JWE using "dir" Direct use of Shared Symmetric Key

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.

    bool success;

    CkJwe jwe;

    // First build the JWE Protected Header..
    CkJsonObject jweProtHdr;
    jweProtHdr.AppendString("alg","dir");
    jweProtHdr.AppendString("enc","A128GCM");

    // Don't forget to actually provide the protected header to the JWE object:
    jwe.SetProtectedHeader(jweProtHdr);

    // 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.

    int recipientIndex = 0;
    jwe.SetWrappingKey(recipientIndex,"000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F","hex");

    // Encrypt and return the JWE:
    const char *strJwe = jwe.encrypt(plaintext,"utf-8");
    if (jwe.get_LastMethodSuccess() != true) {
        std::cout << jwe.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    // Show the JWE we just created:
    std::cout << strJwe << "\r\n";

    // Decrypt the JWE.
    CkJwe jwe2;
    success = jwe2.LoadJwe(strJwe);
    if (success != true) {
        std::cout << jwe2.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    jwe2.SetWrappingKey(0,"000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F","hex");

    // Decrypt.
    const char *originalPlaintext = jwe2.decrypt(0,"utf-8");
    if (jwe2.get_LastMethodSuccess() != true) {
        std::cout << jwe2.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    std::cout << "original text: " << "\r\n";
