(Swift 2) JWE using AES Key Wrap and AES_128_CBC_HMAC_SHA_256

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:
    var aesWrappingKey: String? = "GawgguFyGrWKav7AX4VKUg"
    jwe.SetWrappingKey(0, encodedKey: aesWrappingKey, encoding: "base64url")

    // Encrypt and return the JWE:
    var strJwe: String? = jwe.Encrypt(plaintext, charset: "utf-8")
    if jwe.LastMethodSuccess != true {
        print("\(jwe.LastErrorText)")
        return
    }

    // Show the JWE we just created:
    print("\(strJwe!)")

    // Decrypt the JWE that was just produced.
    // 1) Load the JWE.
    // 2) Set the AES wrapping key.
    // 3) Decrypt.
    let jwe2 = CkoJwe()
    success = jwe2.LoadJwe(strJwe)
    if success != true {
        print("\(jwe2.LastErrorText)")
        return
    }

    // Set the AES wrap key.
    jwe2.SetWrappingKey(0, encodedKey: aesWrappingKey, encoding: "base64url")

    // Decrypt.
    var originalPlaintext: String? = jwe2.Decrypt(0, charset: "utf-8")
    if jwe2.LastMethodSuccess != true {
        print("\(jwe2.LastErrorText)")
        return
    }

    print("original text: ")
    print("\(originalPlaintext!)")

    // ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // It should also be possible to decrypt the JWE as shown in RFC 7516, Appendix A.3.7
    // because it was produced using the same AES Wrap key.
