add_header_param Method

Adds additional header parameters.

Syntax

def add_header_param(name: str, value: str, data_type: int) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method is used to add additional header parameters before calling encrypt.

The Name and Value parameters define the name and value of the parameter respectively. The DataType parameter specifies the JSON data type of the value. Possible values for DataType are:

• 0 (Object)
• 1 (Array)
• 2 (String)
• 3 (Number)
• 4 (Bool)
• 5 (Null)

{
	"alg": "A256GCMKW",
	"crit": [
		"exp"
	],
	"enc": "A128CBC-HS256",
	"exp": 12345687,
	"iv": "SFZ9o0KKN8qF8yod",
	"tag": "tREHGKuViLo7s3QpRTulkg",
	"type": "JWT"
}

The following code can be used:

Jwe jwe = new Jwe();
jwe.EncryptionAlgorithm = JweEncryptionAlgorithms.eaA256GCMKW;
jwe.KeyB = key;
jwe.AddHeaderParam("type", "JWT", 2);
jwe.AddHeaderParam("crit", "[\"exp\"]", 1);
jwe.AddHeaderParam("exp", "12345687", 3);
jwe.InputMessage = "test";
jwe.Encrypt();
string encryptedData = jwe.OutputMessage;

Note: When calling encrypt the class will automatically add headers based on the selected encryption_algorithm and other properties that may be set.
