# JWE [![Go Reference](https://pkg.go.dev/badge/github.com/lestrrat-go/jwx/jwe.svg)](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/lestrrat-go/jwx/jwe)

Package jwe implements JWE as described in [RFC7516](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7516)

* Encrypt and Decrypt arbitrary data
* Content compression and decompression
* Add arbitrary fields in the JWE header object

Examples are located in the examples directory ([jwe_example_test.go](../examples/jwe_example_test.go))

# SYNOPSIS

## Encrypt data

```go
func ExampleEncrypt() {
  privkey, err := rsa.GenerateKey(rand.Reader, 2048)
  if err != nil {
    log.Printf("failed to generate private key: %s", err)
    return
  }

  payload := []byte("Lorem Ipsum")

  encrypted, err := jwe.Encrypt(payload, jwa.RSA1_5, &privkey.PublicKey, jwa.A128CBC_HS256, jwa.NoCompress)
  if err != nil {
    log.Printf("failed to encrypt payload: %s", err)
    return
  }
  _ = encrypted
  // OUTPUT:
}
```

## Decrypt data

```go
func ExampleDecrypt() {
  privkey, encrypted, err := exampleGenPayload()
  if err != nil {
    log.Printf("failed to generate encrypted payload: %s", err)
    return
  }

  decrypted, err := jwe.Decrypt(encrypted, jwa.RSA1_5, privkey)
  if err != nil {
    log.Printf("failed to decrypt: %s", err)
    return
  }

  if string(decrypted) != "Lorem Ipsum" {
    log.Printf("WHAT?!")
    return
  }
  // OUTPUT:
}
```
