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
