(Mono C#) JWE with DEFLATE Compression

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

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

// This example will demonstrate with and without DEFLATE (zip) compression.

// 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.

// Set the AES key wrap key:

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

// Now create a JWE without compression.

// Make sure to update the shared protected header:

// automatically decompressed (inflated) after decrypting.
