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]

OVERVIEW

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.

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

    • -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

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
