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:
