JWE using PBES2 Key Wrapping

See more JSON Web Encryption (JWE) Examples

Demonstrates how to create and decrypt a JWE that using PBES2 key wrapping.

This example demonstrates PBES2 with HMAC SHA-256 and A128KW wrapping. It is also possible to do the following by simply changing the "alg" parameter:

  • PBES2 with HMAC SHA-384 and A192KW wrapping
  • PBES2 with HMAC SHA-512 and A256KW wrapping

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