JWE using AES Key Wrap and AES_128_CBC_HMAC_SHA_256

See more JSON Web Encryption (JWE) Examples

This example duplicates the example A.3 in RFC 7516 for JSON Web Encryption (JWE).

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

// The example A.3 in RFC 7516 uses the following 128-bit AES key,
// specified in JWK (JSON Web Key) format:
//      {"kty":"oct",
//       "k":"GawgguFyGrWKav7AX4VKUg"
//      }
// This is just a way of saying: The key type ("kty") is 
// a bunch of octets ("k") in base64url encoding.
// We can simply set the AES wrapping key like this:

$jwe->SetWrappingKey(0,$aesWrappingKey,'base64url');

// 1) Load the JWE.
// 2) Set the AES wrapping key.
// 3) Decrypt.
