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.

# This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# Create some plaintext to be encrypted.
# This example will demonstrate with and without DEFLATE (zip) compression.
