JOSE-JWE-FMT(1)

NAME¶

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

SYNOPSIS¶

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
