JWE Using Flattened JWE JSON Serialization

See more JSON Web Encryption (JWE) Examples

This example duplicates the example A.5 in RFC 7516 for JSON Web Encryption (JWE).

This example demonstrates using the flattened JWE JSON Serialization syntax. This example demonstrates the capability for encrypting the plaintext to a single recipient in a flattened JSON structure.

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.

lcPlaintext = "Live long and prosper."

loJwe = CreateObject('Chilkat.Jwe')

* First build the JWE Protected Header: {"enc":"A128CBC-HS256"}
loJweProtHdr = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJweProtHdr.AppendString("enc","A128CBC-HS256")
loJwe.SetProtectedHeader(loJweProtHdr)

* We have a single recipient that uses AES Key Wrap to encrypt the CEK.
* 
*      {"alg":"A128KW","kid":"7"}

loJweRecipientHdr = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJweRecipientHdr.AppendString("alg","A128KW")
loJweRecipientHdr.AppendString("kid","7")
lnRecipientIndex = 0
loJwe.SetRecipientHeader(lnRecipientIndex,loJweRecipientHdr)

* Set the Shared Unprotected Header:  {"jku":"https://server.example.com/keys.jwks"}
loJweUnprotHdr = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJweUnprotHdr.AppendString("jku","https://server.example.com/keys.jwks")
loJwe.SetUnprotectedHeader(loJweUnprotHdr)

* Set the AES key wrapping key.
lcAesWrappingKey = "GawgguFyGrWKav7AX4VKUg"
lnRecipientIndex = 0
loJwe.SetWrappingKey(lnRecipientIndex,lcAesWrappingKey,"base64url")

* OK.. everything has been specified.
* Now encrypt.  
* Indicate that we prefer the flattened JSON serialization.
loJwe.PreferFlattened = 1
lcStrJwe = loJwe.Encrypt(lcPlaintext,"utf-8")

* The JWE is produced in the most compact form possible (a single line).
* Let's load it into a JSON object and examine in a non-compact pretty-printed format:
loJsonTemp = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJsonTemp.Load(lcStrJwe)
loJsonTemp.EmitCompact = 0
? loJsonTemp.Emit()

* The JWE looks like this:
* (Note: Because of random values used in the encryption process, your encrypted results will be different.)

* 	{ 
* 	  "protected": "eyJlbmMiOiJBMTI4Q0JDLUhTMjU2In0",
* 	  "unprotected": { 
* 	    "jku": "https://server.example.com/keys.jwks"
* 	  },
* 	  "header": { 
* 	    "alg": "A128KW",
* 	    "kid": "7"
* 	  },
* 	  "encrypted_key": "FW7z9VxOvnF2ClicvUT4HTeqcdyh90C6qytfEFJsOb77FOwTfYrc3w",
* 	  "iv": "O6Ly5-eML3zTs-_fNX3D5Q",
* 	  "ciphertext": "Q8NLmeac9JhLh0CQPuG_7D9wVDb55eToCh0g5-FQ4M0",
* 	  "tag": "slzlo6-J9C7wSDF4dh_kBg"
* 	} 

* Now decrypt......................................

* First, load the JWE..
loJwe2 = CreateObject('Chilkat.Jwe')
lnSuccess = loJwe2.LoadJwe(lcStrJwe)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loJwe2.LastErrorText

    RELEASE loJweProtHdr
    RELEASE loJweRecipientHdr
    RELEASE loJweUnprotHdr
    RELEASE loJsonTemp
    RELEASE loJwe2
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Set the AES wrap key..
lnRecipientIndex = 0
loJwe2.SetWrappingKey(lnRecipientIndex,lcAesWrappingKey,"base64url")

* Decrypt
lcOriginalPlaintext = loJwe2.Decrypt(lnRecipientIndex,"utf-8")
