NAME

       jose-jwe-enc - Encrypts plaintext using one or more JWK/password

SYNOPSIS

       jose jwe enc [-i JWE] -I PT -k JWK [-p] [-r RCP] [-o JWE] [-O CT] [-c]

OVERVIEW

       The jose jwe enc command encrypts data using one or more JWK (-k) or password (-p). When
       specifying more than one JWK or password, decryption will succeed with any one of the
       provided keys.

       A detached JWE can be created by specifying the -O option. In this case, the decoded
       ciphertext will be written to the output specified and will not be included in the JWE.

       If only one key is used (-k or -p), the resulting JWE may be output in JWE Compact
       Serialization by using the -c option.

       This command uses a template based approach for constructing a JWE. You can specify
       templates of the JWE itself (-i) or for the JWE Recipient Object (-r). Attributes
       specified in either of these templates will appear unmodified in the output. One exception
       to this rule is that the JWE Protected Header should be specified in its decoded form in
       the template. This command will automatically encode it as part of the encryption process.

       If you specify a JOSE Header Parameter (via either the -i or -r options) that affects the
       construction of the JWE, this command will attempt to behave according to this parameter
       as if it were configuration. For example, specifying the "zip" parameter in the JWE
       Protected Header will cause the plaintext to be compressed before encryption. Currently,
       jose will modify its behavior for the "alg", "enc" and "zip" JOSE Header Parameters (see
       RFC 7516 Section 4.1.3), as well as the algorithm-specific parameters for the algorithms
       we support (see RFC 7518 Section 4).

       However, it is not necessary to provide any templates: jose jwe enc will automatically
       fill in the "alg" and "enc" parameters by inferring the correct algorithms from the
       provided input keys (JWK or password). Therefore, the -i and -r options should generally
       be used for providing extended JWE metadata.

OPTIONS

       •   -i -, --input=-: Read JWE from standard input

       •   -I FILE, --detached=FILE : Read decoded ciphertext from FILE

       •   -I -, --detached=- : Read decoded ciphertext from standard input

       •   -r FILE, --recipient=FILE : Read JWE recipient template from FILE

       •   -r -, --recipient=- : Read JWE recipient template from standard input

       •   -k FILE, --key=FILE : Read JWK(Set) from FILE

       •   -k -, --key=- : Read JWK(Set) from standard input

       •   -p, --password : Prompt for an encryption password

       •   -o FILE, --output=FILE : Write JWE to FILE

       •   -o -, --output=- : Write JWE to stdout (default)

       •   -O FILE, --detach=FILE : Detach ciphertext and decode to FILE

       •   -O -, --detach=- : Detach ciphertext and decode to standard output

       •   -c, --compact : Output JWE using compact serialization

EXAMPLES

       Encrypt data with a symmetric key using JWE JSON Serialization:

           $ jose jwk gen -i '{"alg":"A128GCM"}' -o key.jwk
           $ jose jwe enc -I msg.txt -k key.jwk -o msg.jwe

       Encrypt data with a password using JWE Compact Serialization:

           $ jose jwe enc -I msg.txt -p -c -o msg.jwe
           Please enter an encryption password:
           Please re-enter the previous password:

       Compress plaintext before encryption:

           $ jose jwe enc -i '{"protected":{"zip":"DEF"}}' ...

       Encrypt with two keys and two passwords: $ jose jwk gen -i {"alg":"ECDH-ES+A128KW"} -o
       ec.jwk $ jose jwk gen -i {"alg":"RSA1_5"} -o rsa.jwk $ jose jwe enc -I msg.txt -p -k
       ec.jwk -p -k rsa.jwk -o msg.jwe Please enter a password: Please re-enter the previous
       password: Please enter a password: Please re-enter the previous password:
