JOSE−JWE−FMT

jose-jwe-fmt − Converts a JWE between serialization formats

jose jwe fmt −i JWE [−I CT] [−o JWE] [−O CT] [−c]

The jose jwe fmt command converts a JWE into alternative serialization formats. For example, it can:

1. Attach ciphertext to a detached JWE.

2. Detach ciphertext from a JWE.

3. Convert JWE Compact Serialization to JWE JSON Serialization.

4. Convert JWE JSON Serialization to JWE Compact Serialization.

• −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

• −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

Attach ciphertext to a detached JWE and emit JWE Compact Serialization:

$ jose jwe fmt −i msg.jwe −I msg.ct −o compact.jwe −c

Detach ciphertext from a JWE:

$ jose jwe fmt −i msg.jwe −o detached.jwe −O detached.ct
