(Delphi ActiveX) 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.

jwe.SetProtectedHeader(jweProtHdr.ControlInterface);

// 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.
