lws minimal example for JWE

Demonstrates how to encrypt and decrypt using JWE and JWK, providing a commandline tool for creating encrypted JWE and decoding them.

build

 $ cmake . && make

usage

Stdin is either the plaintext (if encrypting) or JWE (if decrypting).

Stdout is either the JWE (if encrypting) or plaintext (if decrypting).

You must pass a private or public key JWK file in the -k option if encrypting, and must pass a private key JWK file in the -k option if decrypting. To be clear, for asymmetric keys the public part of the key is required to encrypt, and the private part required to decrypt.

For convenience, a pair of public and private keys are provided, key-rsa-4096.private and key-rsa-4096.pub, these were produced with just

 $ lws-crypto-jwk -t RSA -b 4096 --public key-rsa-4096.pub >key-rsa-4096.private

Similar keys for EC modes may be produced with

 $ lws-crypto-jwk -t EC -v P-256 --public key-ecdh-p-256.pub >key-ecdh-p-256.private

and for AES ("octet") symmetric keys

 $ lws-crypto-jwk -t OCT -b 128 >key-aes-128.private

JWEs produced with openssl and mbedtls backends are completely interchangeable.

Commandline option	Meaning
-d	Debug verbosity in decimal, eg, -d15
-e " "	Encrypt (default is decrypt), eg, -e "RSA1_5 A128CBC-HS256". For decrypt, the cipher information comes from the input JWE.
-k	JWK file to encrypt or decrypt with
-c	Format the JWE as a linebroken C string
-f	Output flattened representation (instead of compact by default)

 $ echo -n "plaintext0123456" | ./lws-crypto-jwe -k key-rsa-4096.private -e "RSA1_5 A128CBC-HS256"

Notice the logging is on stderr, and the output alone on stdout.

You can also pipe the output of the encrypt action directly into the decrypt action, eg

 $ echo -n "plaintext0123456" | \
   ./lws-crypto-jwe -k key-rsa-4096.pub -e "RSA1_5 A128CBC-HS256" | \
   ./lws-crypto-jwe -k key-rsa-4096.private

prints the plaintext on stdout.
