Specify any payload via input properties and use Encrypt to create a JWE message using a variety of algorithms including ECDH, RSA, and AES. Use Decrypt to decrypt the payload of any received JWE message. The following algorithms are supported:

  • RSA1_5
  • RSA-OAEP
  • RSA-OAEP-256
  • A128KW
  • A192KW
  • A256KW
  • Direct
  • ECDH-ES
  • ECDH-ES+A128KW
  • ECDH-ES+A192KW
  • ECDH-ES+A256KW
  • A128GCMKW
  • A192GCMKW
  • A256GCMKW
  • PBES2-HS256+A128KW
  • PBES2-HS384+A192KW
  • PBES2-HS512+A256KW

See EncryptionAlgorithm for more details about supported algorithms.

Encrypting

The Encrypt method may be used to encrypt a payload with a variety of algorithms. JSON Web Encryption (JWE) is performed by first generating a random key used to encrypt the content. The content encryption key is used to encrypt the content using the algorithm specified by ContentEncryptionAlgorithm. The content encryption key is then encrypted itself using the algorithm specified by EncryptionAlgorithm. The content encryption key is not directly exposed in the API as it is randomly generated.

After calling this method the compact serialized JWE string is written to the specified output location. For instance:

eyJhbGciOiJBMjU2R0NNS1ciLCJlbmMiOiJBMTI4Q0JDLUhTMjU2IiwiaXYiOiJMa0tNeTZ5Qlpfbzh6QW92IiwidGFnIjoiSmpMTkRsV3l3bWt3V2pMa0NLU0xxQSJ9.wiwySYm6fXZre-3IdT1tb_02KMQDrMICwUawVf7Gjhc.k84s7ne8J41QnA5BQ31k_A.kjIveRjjNYV4x92CVE9Agw.uAygkyeO2KWeFQIy9JLU0A

The class is agnostic of the payload that is encrypted. Any value may be encrypted. KeyId may be set to include an identifier to help the receiving party identify the key or certificate used to encrypt the data. The following properties are applicable when calling this method:

Input and Output Properties

The class will determine the source and destination of the input and output based on which properties are set.

The order in which the input properties are checked is as follows:

When a valid source is found, the search stops. The order in which the output properties are checked is as follows:

Notes for AES Algorithms (A128KW, A192KW, A256KW, A128GCMKW, A192GCMKW, A256GCMKW)

When EncryptionAlgorithm is set to a AES algorithm Key must be set to a key of appropriate length for the algorithm. For instance a 256 bit key would be used for A256KW.

The example below uses the EzRand class to generate a key, but the key may be created using any method. The key must be known by both parties in order for encryption and decryption to take place.

//Generate a 256 bit (32 byte) key Ezrand rand = new Ezrand(); rand.RandBytesLength = 32; rand.GetNextBytes(); byte[] key = rand.RandBytesB; //Encrypt the payload using A256KW Jwe jwe = new Jwe(); jwe.KeyB = key; jwe.InputMessage = "test data"; jwe.EncryptionAlgorithm = JweEncryptionAlgorithms.eaA256KW; jwe.Encrypt(); string encryptedData = jwe.OutputMessage;

To use an existing AES key provide the bytes to the Key property. For instance:

byte[] key = new byte[] { 164, 60, 194, 0, 161, 189, 41, 38, 130, 89, 141, 164, 45, 170, 159, 209, 69, 137, 243, 216, 191, 131, 47, 250, 32, 107, 231, 117, 37, 158, 225, 234 }; //Encrypt the payload using A256KW Jwe jwe = new Jwe(); jwe.KeyB = key; jwe.InputMessage = "test data"; jwe.EncryptionAlgorithm = JweEncryptionAlgorithms.eaA256KW; jwe.Encrypt(); string encryptedData = jwe.OutputMessage;

Notes for RSA Algorithms (RSA1_5, RSA-OEAP, RSA-OAEP-256)

The RSA based algorithms use asymmetric encryption. Encrypting is done with a public key and decryption is done with a private key. The public certificate should be in PEM (base64) format. For instance:

Jwe jwe = new Jwe(); jwe.Certificate = new Certificate("..\\recipient.cer"); jwe.InputMessage = "test data"; jwe.EncryptionAlgorithm = JweEncryptionAlgorithms.eaRSA_OAEP; jwe.Encrypt(); string encryptedData = jwe.OutputMessage;

Notes for ECDH Algorithms (ECDH-ES, ECDH-ES+A128KW, ECDH-ES+A192KW, ECDH-ES+A256KW)

ECDH algorithms require a valid ECC public key to encrypt the message. If the key was originally created with the ECC class the PEM encoded PublicKey may be used directly with the Certificate property. An example PEM encoded public certificate created by the ECC component:

-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----

-----END PUBLIC KEY-----

Jwe jwe = new Jwe(); jwe.Certificate = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPublicKeyFile, pubKeyFile, "", "*"); jwe.InputMessage = "test data"; jwe.EncryptionAlgorithm = JweEncryptionAlgorithms.eaECDH_ES_A256KW; jwe.Encrypt(); string encryptedData = jwe.OutputMessage;

To use an ECC public key created by other means the ECC class may be used to import the key parameters. Populate the Rx and Ry properties of the ECC component first to obtain the PEM formatted public key. For instance:

byte[] x_bytes = new byte[] { 171, 170, 196, 151, 94, 196, 231, 12, 128, 232, 17, 61, 45, 105, 41, 209, 192, 187, 112, 242, 110, 178, 95, 240, 36, 55, 83, 171, 190, 176, 78, 13 }; byte[] y_bytes = new byte[] { 197, 75, 134, 245, 245, 28, 199, 9, 7, 117, 1, 54, 49, 178, 135, 252, 62, 89, 35, 180, 117, 80, 231, 23, 110, 250, 28, 124, 219, 253, 224, 156 }; Ecc ecc = new Ecc(); ecc.Key.RxB = x_bytes; ecc.Key.RyB = y_bytes; string pubKey = ecc.Key.PublicKey; Jwe jwe = new Jwe(); jwe.Certificate = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPublicKeyFile, pubKey, "", "*"); jwe.InputMessage = "test data"; jwe.EncryptionAlgorithm = JweEncryptionAlgorithms.eaECDH_ES_A256KW; jwe.Encrypt(); string encryptedData = jwe.OutputMessage;

Notes for PBES Algorithms (PBES2-HS256+A128KW, PBES2-HS384+A192KW, PBES2-HS512+A256KW

PBES algorithms derive a content encryption key from the KeyPassword property. Set KeyPassword to a shared secret.

Jwe jwe = new Jwe(); jwe.KeyPassword = "secret"; jwe.InputMessage = "test data"; jwe.EncryptionAlgorithm = JweEncryptionAlgorithms.eaPBES2_HS512_A256KW; jwe.Encrypt(); string encryptedData = jwe.OutputMessage;

Notes for Direct Shared Keys

When EncryptionAlgorithm is set to Direct the Key property must be set to a valid symmetric key that will be used directly by the ContentEncryptionAlgorithm. In this case a content encryption key is not generated randomly, the Key is used instead. The length of the specified Key must be valid for the selected ContentEncryptionAlgorithm. For instance:

//Generate a 256 bit (32 byte) key Ezrand rand = new Ezrand(); rand.RandBytesLength = 32; rand.GetNextBytes(); byte[] key = rand.RandBytesB; Jwe jwe = new Jwe(); jwe.EncryptionAlgorithm = JweEncryptionAlgorithms.eaDir; jwe.ContentEncryptionAlgorithm = JweContentEncryptionAlgorithms.ceaA256GCM; jwe.KeyB = key; jwe.InputMessage = "test data"; jwe.Encrypt(); string encryptedData = jwe.OutputMessage;

Decrypting

The Decrypt method may be used to decrypt a received JWE message. Before calling the Decrypt method set InputMessage or InputFile to a valid compact serialized JWE string. For instance:

eyJhbGciOiJBMjU2R0NNS1ciLCJlbmMiOiJBMTI4Q0JDLUhTMjU2IiwiaXYiOiJMa0tNeTZ5Qlpfbzh6QW92IiwidGFnIjoiSmpMTkRsV3l3bWt3V2pMa0NLU0xxQSJ9.wiwySYm6fXZre-3IdT1tb_02KMQDrMICwUawVf7Gjhc.k84s7ne8J41QnA5BQ31k_A.kjIveRjjNYV4x92CVE9Agw.uAygkyeO2KWeFQIy9JLU0A

The type and format of the private key depends on the algorithm used to encrypt the data. The following table summarizes the relationship:

AlgorithmPrivate Key Location
AESKey
RSA and ECDHCertificate
PBESKeyPassword
If the correct Key or Certificate is not known ahead of time the KeyId parameter of the RecipientInfo event may be used to identify the correct key.

If this method returns without error decryption was successful. If decryption fails then this method . After calling this method the payload will be present in the OutputMessage or file specified by OutputFile and the HeaderParams property will contain the headers. Headers of the parsed message are also available through the HeaderParam event.

The following properties are applicable when calling this method:

Input and Output Properties

The class will determine the source and destination of the input and output based on which properties are set.

The order in which the input properties are checked is as follows:

When a valid source is found, the search stops. The order in which the output properties are checked is as follows:

Notes for AES Algorithms (A128KW, A192KW, A256KW, A128GCMKW, A192GCMKW, A256GCMKW)

To decrypt messages that use AES encryption Key must be set to a key of appropriate length for the algorithm. For instance a 256 bit key would be used for A256KW.

The key must be known by both parties in order for encryption and decryption to take place.

byte[] key = new byte[] { 164, 60, 194, 0, 161, 189, 41, 38, 130, 89, 141, 164, 45, 170, 159, 209, 69, 137, 243, 216, 191, 131, 47, 250, 32, 107, 231, 117, 37, 158, 225, 234 }; Jwe jwe = new Jwe(); jwe.KeyB = key; jwe.InputMessage = encryptedData; jwe.Decrypt(); string decryptedData = jwe.OutputMessage;

Notes for RSA Algorithms (RSA1_5, RSA-OEAP, RSA-OAEP-256)

The RSA based algorithms use asymmetric encryption. Encrypting is done with a public key and decryption is done with a private key. The certificate with private key must be specified. For instance:

Jwe jwe = new Jwe(); jwe.Certificate = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPFXFile, "..\\jwt.pfx", "password", "*"); jwe.InputMessage = encryptedData; jwe.Decrypt(); string decryptedData = jwe.OutputMessage;

Notes for ECDH Algorithms (ECDH-ES, ECDH-ES+A128KW, ECDH-ES+A192KW, ECDH-ES+A256KW)

ECDH algorithms require a valid ECC private key to decrypt the message. If the key was originally created with the ECC class the PEM encoded PrivateKey may be used directly with the Certificate property.

Jwe jwe = new Jwe(); jwe.Certificate = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPEMKeyFile, privKeyFile, "", "*"); jwe.InputMessage = encryptedData; jwe.Decrypt(); string decryptedData = jwe.OutputMessage;

To use an ECC private key created by other means the ECC class may be used to import the key parameters. Populate the Rx, Ry, and KB properties of the ECC component first to obtain the PEM formatted public key. For instance:

Ecc ecc = new Ecc(); byte[] x_bytes = new byte[] { 171, 170, 196, 151, 94, 196, 231, 12, 128, 232, 17, 61, 45, 105, 41, 209, 192, 187, 112, 242, 110, 178, 95, 240, 36, 55, 83, 171, 190, 176, 78, 13 }; byte[] y_bytes = new byte[] { 197, 75, 134, 245, 245, 28, 199, 9, 7, 117, 1, 54, 49, 178, 135, 252, 62, 89, 35, 180, 117, 80, 231, 23, 110, 250, 28, 124, 219, 253, 224, 156 }; byte[] k_bytes = new byte[] { 81, 65, 201, 24, 235, 249, 162, 148, 169, 150, 109, 181, 61, 238, 145, 122, 31, 30, 151, 94, 239, 90, 222, 217, 63, 103, 54, 2, 176, 232, 248, 168 }; ecc.Key.RxB = x_bytes; ecc.Key.RyB = y_bytes; ecc.Key.KB = k_bytes; string privKey = ecc.Key.PrivateKey; Jwe jwe = new Jwe(); jwe.Certificate = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPEMKeyBlob, privKey, "", "*"); jwe.InputMessage = encryptedData; jwe.Decrypt(); string decryptedData = jwe.OutputMessage;

Notes for PBES Algorithms (PBES2-HS256+A128KW, PBES2-HS384+A192KW, PBES2-HS512+A256KW

PBES algorithms derive a content encryption key from the KeyPassword property. Set KeyPassword to the shared secret.

Jwe jwe = new Jwe(); jwe.KeyPassword = "secret"; jwe.InputMessage = encryptedData; jwe.Decrypt(); string decryptedData = jwe.OutputMessage;

Notes for Direct Shared Keys

When Direct encryption is used the Key property must be set to a valid symmetric key that will be used directly by the ContentEncryptionAlgorithm. For instance:

byte[] key = new byte[] { 164, 60, 194, 0, 161, 189, 41, 38, 130, 89, 141, 164, 45, 170, 159, 209, 69, 137, 243, 216, 191, 131, 47, 250, 32, 107, 231, 117, 37, 158, 225, 234 }; Jwe jwe = new Jwe(); jwe.KeyB = key; jwe.InputMessage = encryptedData; jwe.Decrypt(); string decryptedData = jwe.OutputMessage;

Adds additional header parameters.

Syntax

public func addHeaderParam(name: String, value: String, dataType: Int32) throws -> Void
- (void)addHeaderParam:(NSString*)name :(NSString*)value :(int)dataType;

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)
To add additional parameters to the JOSE header use this method. For instance to create this header:

{
	"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 EncryptionAlgorithm and other properties that may be set.

Config Method (JWE Module)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

public func config(configurationString: String) throws -> String
- (NSString*)config:(NSString*)configurationString;

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

Decrypt Method (JWE Module)

Decrypts the payload.

Syntax

public func decrypt() throws -> Void
- (void)decrypt;

Remarks

This method decrypts the input data.

Before calling the Decrypt method set InputMessage or InputFile to a valid compact serialized JWE string. For instance:

eyJhbGciOiJBMjU2R0NNS1ciLCJlbmMiOiJBMTI4Q0JDLUhTMjU2IiwiaXYiOiJMa0tNeTZ5Qlpfbzh6QW92IiwidGFnIjoiSmpMTkRsV3l3bWt3V2pMa0NLU0xxQSJ9.wiwySYm6fXZre-3IdT1tb_02KMQDrMICwUawVf7Gjhc.k84s7ne8J41QnA5BQ31k_A.kjIveRjjNYV4x92CVE9Agw.uAygkyeO2KWeFQIy9JLU0A

The type and format of the private key depends on the algorithm used to encrypt the data. The following table summarizes the relationship:

AlgorithmPrivate Key Location
AESKey
RSA and ECDHCertificate
PBESKeyPassword
If the correct Key or Certificate is not known ahead of time the KeyId parameter of the RecipientInfo event may be used to identify the correct key.

If this method returns without error decryption was successful. If decryption fails then this method . After calling this method the payload will be present in the OutputMessage or file specified by OutputFile and the HeaderParams property will contain the headers. Headers of the parsed message are also available through the HeaderParam event.

The following properties are applicable when calling this method:

Input and Output Properties

The class will determine the source and destination of the input and output based on which properties are set.

The order in which the input properties are checked is as follows:

When a valid source is found, the search stops. The order in which the output properties are checked is as follows:

Notes for AES Algorithms (A128KW, A192KW, A256KW, A128GCMKW, A192GCMKW, A256GCMKW)

To decrypt messages that use AES encryption Key must be set to a key of appropriate length for the algorithm. For instance a 256 bit key would be used for A256KW.

The key must be known by both parties in order for encryption and decryption to take place.

byte[] key = new byte[] { 164, 60, 194, 0, 161, 189, 41, 38, 130, 89, 141, 164, 45, 170, 159, 209, 69, 137, 243, 216, 191, 131, 47, 250, 32, 107, 231, 117, 37, 158, 225, 234 }; Jwe jwe = new Jwe(); jwe.KeyB = key; jwe.InputMessage = encryptedData; jwe.Decrypt(); string decryptedData = jwe.OutputMessage;

Notes for RSA Algorithms (RSA1_5, RSA-OEAP, RSA-OAEP-256)

The RSA based algorithms use asymmetric encryption. Encrypting is done with a public key and decryption is done with a private key. The certificate with private key must be specified. For instance:

Jwe jwe = new Jwe(); jwe.Certificate = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPFXFile, "..\\jwt.pfx", "password", "*"); jwe.InputMessage = encryptedData; jwe.Decrypt(); string decryptedData = jwe.OutputMessage;

Notes for ECDH Algorithms (ECDH-ES, ECDH-ES+A128KW, ECDH-ES+A192KW, ECDH-ES+A256KW)

ECDH algorithms require a valid ECC private key to decrypt the message. If the key was originally created with the ECC class the PEM encoded PrivateKey may be used directly with the Certificate property.

Jwe jwe = new Jwe(); jwe.Certificate = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPEMKeyFile, privKeyFile, "", "*"); jwe.InputMessage = encryptedData; jwe.Decrypt(); string decryptedData = jwe.OutputMessage;

To use an ECC private key created by other means the ECC class may be used to import the key parameters. Populate the Rx, Ry, and KB properties of the ECC component first to obtain the PEM formatted public key. For instance:

Ecc ecc = new Ecc(); byte[] x_bytes = new byte[] { 171, 170, 196, 151, 94, 196, 231, 12, 128, 232, 17, 61, 45, 105, 41, 209, 192, 187, 112, 242, 110, 178, 95, 240, 36, 55, 83, 171, 190, 176, 78, 13 }; byte[] y_bytes = new byte[] { 197, 75, 134, 245, 245, 28, 199, 9, 7, 117, 1, 54, 49, 178, 135, 252, 62, 89, 35, 180, 117, 80, 231, 23, 110, 250, 28, 124, 219, 253, 224, 156 }; byte[] k_bytes = new byte[] { 81, 65, 201, 24, 235, 249, 162, 148, 169, 150, 109, 181, 61, 238, 145, 122, 31, 30, 151, 94, 239, 90, 222, 217, 63, 103, 54, 2, 176, 232, 248, 168 }; ecc.Key.RxB = x_bytes; ecc.Key.RyB = y_bytes; ecc.Key.KB = k_bytes; string privKey = ecc.Key.PrivateKey; Jwe jwe = new Jwe(); jwe.Certificate = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPEMKeyBlob, privKey, "", "*"); jwe.InputMessage = encryptedData; jwe.Decrypt(); string decryptedData = jwe.OutputMessage;

Notes for PBES Algorithms (PBES2-HS256+A128KW, PBES2-HS384+A192KW, PBES2-HS512+A256KW

PBES algorithms derive a content encryption key from the KeyPassword property. Set KeyPassword to the shared secret.

Jwe jwe = new Jwe(); jwe.KeyPassword = "secret"; jwe.InputMessage = encryptedData; jwe.Decrypt(); string decryptedData = jwe.OutputMessage;

Notes for Direct Shared Keys

When Direct encryption is used the Key property must be set to a valid symmetric key that will be used directly by the ContentEncryptionAlgorithm. For instance:

byte[] key = new byte[] { 164, 60, 194, 0, 161, 189, 41, 38, 130, 89, 141, 164, 45, 170, 159, 209, 69, 137, 243, 216, 191, 131, 47, 250, 32, 107, 231, 117, 37, 158, 225, 234 }; Jwe jwe = new Jwe(); jwe.KeyB = key; jwe.InputMessage = encryptedData; jwe.Decrypt(); string decryptedData = jwe.OutputMessage;

Encrypt Method (JWE Module)

Encrypts the payload with the specified algorithms.

Syntax

public func encrypt() throws -> Void
- (void)encrypt;

Remarks

This method encrypts the input data using the specified algorithms.

JSON Web Encryption (JWE) is performed by first generating a random key used to encrypt the content. The content encryption key is used to encrypt the content using the algorithm specified by ContentEncryptionAlgorithm. The content encryption key is then encrypted itself using the algorithm specified by EncryptionAlgorithm. The content encryption key is not directly exposed in the API as it is randomly generated.

After calling this method the compact serialized JWE string is written to the specified output location. For instance:

eyJhbGciOiJBMjU2R0NNS1ciLCJlbmMiOiJBMTI4Q0JDLUhTMjU2IiwiaXYiOiJMa0tNeTZ5Qlpfbzh6QW92IiwidGFnIjoiSmpMTkRsV3l3bWt3V2pMa0NLU0xxQSJ9.wiwySYm6fXZre-3IdT1tb_02KMQDrMICwUawVf7Gjhc.k84s7ne8J41QnA5BQ31k_A.kjIveRjjNYV4x92CVE9Agw.uAygkyeO2KWeFQIy9JLU0A

The class is agnostic of the payload that is encrypted. Any value may be encrypted. KeyId may be set to include an identifier to help the receiving party identify the key or certificate used to encrypt the data. The following properties are applicable when calling this method:

Input and Output Properties

The class will determine the source and destination of the input and output based on which properties are set.

The order in which the input properties are checked is as follows:

When a valid source is found, the search stops. The order in which the output properties are checked is as follows:

Notes for AES Algorithms (A128KW, A192KW, A256KW, A128GCMKW, A192GCMKW, A256GCMKW)

When EncryptionAlgorithm is set to a AES algorithm Key must be set to a key of appropriate length for the algorithm. For instance a 256 bit key would be used for A256KW.

The example below uses the EzRand class to generate a key, but the key may be created using any method. The key must be known by both parties in order for encryption and decryption to take place.

//Generate a 256 bit (32 byte) key Ezrand rand = new Ezrand(); rand.RandBytesLength = 32; rand.GetNextBytes(); byte[] key = rand.RandBytesB; //Encrypt the payload using A256KW Jwe jwe = new Jwe(); jwe.KeyB = key; jwe.InputMessage = "test data"; jwe.EncryptionAlgorithm = JweEncryptionAlgorithms.eaA256KW; jwe.Encrypt(); string encryptedData = jwe.OutputMessage;

To use an existing AES key provide the bytes to the Key property. For instance:

byte[] key = new byte[] { 164, 60, 194, 0, 161, 189, 41, 38, 130, 89, 141, 164, 45, 170, 159, 209, 69, 137, 243, 216, 191, 131, 47, 250, 32, 107, 231, 117, 37, 158, 225, 234 }; //Encrypt the payload using A256KW Jwe jwe = new Jwe(); jwe.KeyB = key; jwe.InputMessage = "test data"; jwe.EncryptionAlgorithm = JweEncryptionAlgorithms.eaA256KW; jwe.Encrypt(); string encryptedData = jwe.OutputMessage;

Notes for RSA Algorithms (RSA1_5, RSA-OEAP, RSA-OAEP-256)

The RSA based algorithms use asymmetric encryption. Encrypting is done with a public key and decryption is done with a private key. The public certificate should be in PEM (base64) format. For instance:

Jwe jwe = new Jwe(); jwe.Certificate = new Certificate("..\\recipient.cer"); jwe.InputMessage = "test data"; jwe.EncryptionAlgorithm = JweEncryptionAlgorithms.eaRSA_OAEP; jwe.Encrypt(); string encryptedData = jwe.OutputMessage;

Notes for ECDH Algorithms (ECDH-ES, ECDH-ES+A128KW, ECDH-ES+A192KW, ECDH-ES+A256KW)

ECDH algorithms require a valid ECC public key to encrypt the message. If the key was originally created with the ECC class the PEM encoded PublicKey may be used directly with the Certificate property. An example PEM encoded public certificate created by the ECC component:

-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----

Jwe jwe = new Jwe(); jwe.Certificate = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPublicKeyFile, pubKeyFile, "", "*"); jwe.InputMessage = "test data"; jwe.EncryptionAlgorithm = JweEncryptionAlgorithms.eaECDH_ES_A256KW; jwe.Encrypt(); string encryptedData = jwe.OutputMessage;

To use an ECC public key created by other means the ECC class may be used to import the key parameters. Populate the Rx and Ry properties of the ECC component first to obtain the PEM formatted public key. For instance:

byte[] x_bytes = new byte[] { 171, 170, 196, 151, 94, 196, 231, 12, 128, 232, 17, 61, 45, 105, 41, 209, 192, 187, 112, 242, 110, 178, 95, 240, 36, 55, 83, 171, 190, 176, 78, 13 }; byte[] y_bytes = new byte[] { 197, 75, 134, 245, 245, 28, 199, 9, 7, 117, 1, 54, 49, 178, 135, 252, 62, 89, 35, 180, 117, 80, 231, 23, 110, 250, 28, 124, 219, 253, 224, 156 }; Ecc ecc = new Ecc(); ecc.Key.RxB = x_bytes; ecc.Key.RyB = y_bytes; string pubKey = ecc.Key.PublicKey; Jwe jwe = new Jwe(); jwe.Certificate = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPublicKeyFile, pubKey, "", "*"); jwe.InputMessage = "test data"; jwe.EncryptionAlgorithm = JweEncryptionAlgorithms.eaECDH_ES_A256KW; jwe.Encrypt(); string encryptedData = jwe.OutputMessage;

Notes for PBES Algorithms (PBES2-HS256+A128KW, PBES2-HS384+A192KW, PBES2-HS512+A256KW

PBES algorithms derive a content encryption key from the KeyPassword property. Set KeyPassword to a shared secret.

Jwe jwe = new Jwe(); jwe.KeyPassword = "secret"; jwe.InputMessage = "test data"; jwe.EncryptionAlgorithm = JweEncryptionAlgorithms.eaPBES2_HS512_A256KW; jwe.Encrypt(); string encryptedData = jwe.OutputMessage;

Notes for Direct Shared Keys

When EncryptionAlgorithm is set to Direct the Key property must be set to a valid symmetric key that will be used directly by the ContentEncryptionAlgorithm. In this case a content encryption key is not generated randomly, the Key is used instead. The length of the specified Key must be valid for the selected ContentEncryptionAlgorithm. For instance:

//Generate a 256 bit (32 byte) key Ezrand rand = new Ezrand(); rand.RandBytesLength = 32; rand.GetNextBytes(); byte[] key = rand.RandBytesB; Jwe jwe = new Jwe(); jwe.EncryptionAlgorithm = JweEncryptionAlgorithms.eaDir; jwe.ContentEncryptionAlgorithm = JweContentEncryptionAlgorithms.ceaA256GCM; jwe.KeyB = key; jwe.InputMessage = "test data"; jwe.Encrypt(); string encryptedData = jwe.OutputMessage;

Parse Method (JWE Module)

Parses the compact serialized JWE string.

Syntax

public func parse() throws -> Void
- (void)parse;

Remarks

This method parses, but does not decrypt, the JWE string.

Take care when using this method as no decryption is performed. This method may be helpful in cases where only header information is desired.

If decryption is desired, use Decrypt instead. It is not necessary to call this method before calling Decrypt. Decrypt will both parse and decrypt the message.

When calling this method the headers are parsed. The HeaderParam and RecipientInfo events will fire and the HeaderParams property will be populated.

Reset Method (JWE Module)

Resets the component.

Syntax

public func reset() throws -> Void
- (void)reset;

Remarks

When called, the class will reset all of its properties to their default values.

Error Event (JWE Module)

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

func onError(errorCode: Int32, description: String)
- (void)onError:(int)errorCode :(NSString*)description;

Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the class .

The ErrorCode parameter contains an error code, and the Description parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

HeaderParam Event (JWE Module)

Fires once for each JOSE header parameter.

Syntax

func onHeaderParam(name: String, value: String, dataType: Int32)
- (void)onHeaderParam:(NSString*)name :(NSString*)value :(int)dataType;

Remarks

When Decrypt or Parse is called this event will fire once for each JOSE header parameter.

Name is the name of the parameter.

Value is the value of the parameter.

DataType specifies the JSON data type of the value. Possible values are:

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

RecipientInfo Event (JWE Module)

Fired with information about the recipient key of the encrypted message.

Syntax

func onRecipientInfo(keyId: String, algorithm: String)
- (void)onRecipientInfo:(NSString*)keyId :(NSString*)algorithm;

Remarks

This event fires with information about the key used to encrypt the data. This may be used to help identify the Key or Certificate to load in order to decrypt the message. This event fires when Decrypt or Parse is called.

KeyId is the Id of the key as supplied by the entity that created the message. This may be empty.

Algorithm is the encryption algorithm used to encrypt the data.

Certificate Type

This is the digital certificate being used.

Remarks

This type describes the current digital certificate. The certificate may be a public or private key. The fields are used to identify or select certificates.

The following fields are available:

Fields

Config Settings (JWE Module)

The class accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

JWE Config Settings

CompressionAlgorithm:   The compression algorithm to use.

This setting specifies the compression algorithm to use (if any). If set the content will be compressed using the specified algorithm. Possible values are:

  • 0 (none - default)
  • 1 (deflate)
PartyUInfo:   Information about the producer of the message.

This setting may optionally be set when Algorithm is set to an ECDH algorithm before calling Encrypt. When calling Decrypt this setting is populated and also accessible from within the RecipientInfo event. The value may be any string. To specify a base64url encoded value directly prefix the string with [b64]. For instance the following lines both set the same value:

jwe.Config("PartyUInfo=Alice"); jwe.Config("PartyUInfo=[b64]QWxpY2U="); //Equivalent to above line

PartyVInfo:   Information about the recipient of the message.

This setting may optionally be set when Algorithm is set to an ECDH algorithm before calling Encrypt. When calling Decrypt this setting is populated and also accessible from within the RecipientInfo event. The value may be any string. To specify a base64url encoded value directly prefix the string with [b64]. For instance the following lines both set the same value:

jwe.Config("PartyUInfo=Bob"); jwe.Config("PartyUInfo=[b64]Qm9i"); //Equivalent to above line

PBES2Count:   The PBKDF2 iteration count.

This setting specifies the PBDKF2 iteration count. A minimum value of 1000 is recommended. The default value is 1000.

This setting is only applicable when EncryptionAlgorithm is set to a PBES algorithm.

PBES2SaltLength:   The salt input value length.

This setting specifies the length in bytes of the salt input value, which is used as part of the PBKDF2 salt value. The default value is 16.

This setting is only applicable when EncryptionAlgorithm is set to a PBES algorithm.

RawHeader:   Holds the raw JOSE header.

This setting may be queried after calling Encrypt or Decrypt to obtain the raw JOSE header. This returns a JSON string like:

{"alg":"A128GCMKW","enc":"A256CBC-HS512","iv":"oSqGqGiA48O1uD9b","tag":"0WNBx27Z5aL5uvsd01d1Tw"}

StrictValidation:   Requires specific algorithm when decrypting.

If set to True the class will validate the that algorithms used in the JWE message match the values specified in EncryptionAlgorithm and ContentEncryptionAlgorithm. If either algorithms do not match the class .

By default this setting is False and the algorithms are read automatically from the encrypted JWE message.

Base Config Settings

BuildInfo:   Information about the product's build.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build.

CodePage:   The system code page used for Unicode to Multibyte translations.

The default code page is Unicode UTF-8 (65001).
