9 jose jwe enc [-i JWE] -I PT -k JWK [-p] [-r RCP] [-o JWE] [-O CT] [-c]
10
12 The jose jwe enc command encrypts data using one or more JWK (-k) or
13 password (-p). When specifying more than one JWK or password,
14 decryption will succeed with any one of the provided keys.
15 A detached JWE can be created by specifying the -O option. In this
17 case, the decoded ciphertext will be written to the output specified
18 and will not be included in the JWE.
19 If only one key is used (-k or -p), the resulting JWE may be output in
21 JWE Compact Serialization by using the -c option.
22 This command uses a template based approach for constructing a JWE. You
24 can specify templates of the JWE itself (-i) or for the JWE Recipient
25 Object (-r). Attributes specified in either of these templates will
26 appear unmodified in the output. One exception to this rule is that the
27 JWE Protected Header should be specified in its decoded form in the
28 template. This command will automatically encode it as part of the
29 encryption process.
30 If you specify a JOSE Header Parameter (via either the -i or -r
32 options) that affects the construction of the JWE, this command will
33 attempt to behave according to this parameter as if it were
34 configuration. For example, specifying the "zip" parameter in the JWE
35 Protected Header will cause the plaintext to be compressed before
36 encryption. Currently, jose will modify its behavior for the "alg",
37 "enc" and "zip" JOSE Header Parameters (see RFC 7516 Section 4.1.3), as
38 well as the algorithm-specific parameters for the algorithms we support
39 (see RFC 7518 Section 4).
40 However, it is not necessary to provide any templates: jose jwe enc
42 will automatically fill in the "alg" and "enc" parameters by inferring
43 the correct algorithms from the provided input keys (JWK or password).
44 Therefore, the -i and -r options should generally be used for providing
45 extended JWE metadata.
