NAME

       jose-jwe-dec - Decrypts a JWE using the supplied JWKs

SYNOPSIS

       jose jwe dec -i JWE [-I CT] -k JWK [-p] [-O PT]

OVERVIEW

       The jose jwe dec command decrypts a JWE using one or more JWK (-k) or password (-p).
       Decryption succeeds if any key is able to perform decryption.

       If the JWE is a detached JWE, meaning that the ciphertext is stored in binary form
       external to the JWE itself, the ciphertext can be loaded using the -I parameter.

       Please note that, when specifying the -O option to output the plaintext, plaintext output
       begins before ciphertext validation. Therefore, you must check the return value of the
       command before using the data.

OPTIONS

       •   -i JSON, --input=JSON : Parse JWE from JSON

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

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

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

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

       •   -p, --password : Prompt for a decryption password, if necessary

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

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

       •   -O JSON, --detach=JSON : Parse JWE from JSON

       •   -O FILE, --detach=FILE : Read JWE from FILE

       •   -O -, --detach=- : Read JWE from standard input

EXAMPLES

       Decrypt a JWE with a JWK:

           $ jose jwe dec -i msg.jwe -k rsa.key -O msg.txt

       Decrypt a JWE with a password:

           $ jose jwe dec -i msg.jwe -p -O msg.txt
           Please enter decryption password:

       Decrypt a JWE with either of two JWKs:

           $ jose jwe dec -i msg.jwe -k ec.jwk -k rsa.jwk -O msg.txt
