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.

C#

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.
Chilkat.StringBuilder sbPlainText = new Chilkat.StringBuilder();
bool bCrLf = true;
string line = "Live long and prosper.";
sbPlainText.AppendLine(line,bCrLf);
sbPlainText.AppendLine(line,bCrLf);
sbPlainText.AppendLine(line,bCrLf);
sbPlainText.AppendLine(line,bCrLf);

//  The text to be encrypted:
Debug.WriteLine(sbPlainText.GetAsString());

Chilkat.Jwe jwe = new Chilkat.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.
Chilkat.JsonObject jweProtHdr = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
jweProtHdr.AppendString("alg","A128KW");
jweProtHdr.AppendString("enc","A128CBC-HS256");
jweProtHdr.AppendString("zip","DEF");
jwe.SetProtectedHeader(jweProtHdr);

//  Set the AES key wrap key:
string aesWrappingKey = "GawgguFyGrWKav7AX4VKUg";
jwe.SetWrappingKey(0,aesWrappingKey,"base64url");

//  Encrypt and return the JWE in sbJweCompressed:
Chilkat.StringBuilder sbJweCompressed = new Chilkat.StringBuilder();
success = jwe.EncryptSb(sbPlainText,"utf-8",sbJweCompressed);
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(jwe.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Show the compressed JWE:
Debug.WriteLine(sbJweCompressed.GetAsString());
Debug.WriteLine("size of compressed JWE: " + Convert.ToString(sbJweCompressed.Length));

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

Chilkat.StringBuilder sbJweUncompressed = new Chilkat.StringBuilder();
success = jwe.EncryptSb(sbPlainText,"utf-8",sbJweUncompressed);
if (success != true) {

    return;
}

//  Show the uncompressed JWE:
Debug.WriteLine(sbJweUncompressed.GetAsString());
Debug.WriteLine("size of uncompressed JWE: " + Convert.ToString(sbJweUncompressed.Length));

//  Decrypting is the same whether compression is used or not.
//  The "zip" header in the JWE indicates that the payload should be 
//  automatically decompressed (inflated) after decrypting.
Chilkat.Jwe jwe2 = new Chilkat.Jwe();
success = jwe2.LoadJweSb(sbJweCompressed);
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(jwe2.LastErrorText);

}

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

//  Decrypt (also automatically decompresses).

if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(jwe2.LastErrorText);

//  -----------------------------------------------------------
//  Do the same with the uncompressed JWE
