This repo exposes functions for encrypting JSON payloads, and decrypting JWE tokens into JSON from Node.js.

By default, dir algorithm is used for encryption of CEK, and A128GCM for encryption of a payload.

Underhood it uses jose library.

npm install @rdeak/jwe

or

npm install https://github.com/rdeak/jwe

import { encrypt, decrypt } from "@rdeak/jwe";

const jwe = JWE("0123456789123456");

const jweToken = await jwe.encrypt({ name: "John Doe" });
console.log("JWE:", jweToken);

const payload = await jwe.decrypt(jweToken);
console.table(payload);

Create handler for encrypting and decrypting JWE tokens.

type Options = {
  /***
   * cryptographic algorithm used to encrypt CEK
   */
  alg?: string;
  /***
   * cryptographic algorithm used to encrypt payload
   */
  enc?: string;
  /***
   * default content is converted to JSON
   */
  transform?: Transform<PAYLOAD>;
  /***

  compression?: Compression;
};

▸ encrypt(payload): Promise<string>

Encrypts and resolves the value of the Compact JWE string.

Promise<string>

decrypt("jwe token....", "0123456789123456");

▸ decrypt(jweToken): Promise<string>

Decrypts a Compact JWE into object.

Promise<Record<string, unknown>>
