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.

Objective-C

#import <CkoStringBuilder.h>
#import <NSString.h>
#import <CkoJwe.h>
#import <CkoJsonObject.h>

BOOL success = NO;

//  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.

[sbPlainText AppendLine: line crlf: bCrLf];
[sbPlainText AppendLine: line crlf: bCrLf];

//  The text to be encrypted:
NSLog(@"%@",[sbPlainText GetAsString]);

CkoJwe *jwe = [[CkoJwe alloc] init];

//  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.

//  automatically decompressed (inflated) after decrypting.
