Introduction JSON Web Encryption (JWE) is a compact encryption format intended for space constrained environments such as HTTP Authorization headers and URI query parameters. Itprovides a wrapper for encryptedrepresents this content usingJSON RFC 4627JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) [RFC4627] data structures. The JWEencryptioncryptographic mechanismsare independent of the typeencrypt and provide integrity protection for arbitrary sequences ofcontent being encrypted.bytes. Cryptographic algorithms and identifiersusedfor use with this specification areenumerateddescribed in the separate JSON Web Algorithms (JWA) [JWA] specification. Related digital signature and MAC capabilities are described in the separate JSON Web Signature (JWS) [JWS] specification. 1.1. Notational Conventions The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in Key words for use in RFCs to Indicate Requirement Levels [RFC2119]. 2. Terminology JSON Web Encryption (JWE) A data structure representing an encryptedversion of a Plaintext.message. The structure consists of four parts: the JWE Header, the JWE Encrypted Key, the JWE Ciphertext, and the JWE Integrity Value. Plaintext The bytes to be encrypted - a.k.a., the message. The plaintext can contain an arbitrary sequence of bytes. CiphertextTheAn encryptedversionrepresentation of the Plaintext. Content Encryption Key (CEK) A symmetric key used to encrypt the Plaintext for the recipient to produce the Ciphertext. Content Integrity Key (CIK) A key used with a MAC function to ensure the integrity of the Ciphertext and the parameters used to create it. Content Master Key (CMK) A key from which the CEK and CIK are derived. When key wrapping or key encryption are employed, the CMK is randomly generated and encrypted to the recipient as the JWE Encrypted Key. When key agreement is employed, the CMK is the result of the key agreement algorithm. JWE Header A string representing a JSON object that describes the encryption operations applied to create the JWE Encrypted Key, the JWE Ciphertext, and the JWE Integrity Value. JWE Encrypted Key When key wrapping or key encryption are employed, the Content Master Key (CMK) is encrypted with the intended recipient's key and the resulting encrypted content is recorded as a byte array, which is referred to as the JWE Encrypted Key. Otherwise, when key agreement is employed, the JWE Encrypted Key is the empty byte array. JWE Ciphertext A byte array containing the Ciphertext. JWE Integrity Value A byte array containing a MAC value that ensures the integrity of the Ciphertext and the parameters used to create it. Encoded JWE Header Base64url encoding of the bytes of the UTF-8RFC 3629[RFC3629] representation of the JWE Header. Encoded JWE Encrypted Key Base64url encoding of the JWE Encrypted Key. Encoded JWE Ciphertext Base64url encoding of the JWE Ciphertext. Encoded JWE Integrity Value Base64url encoding of the JWE Integrity Value. Header ParameterNamesName Thenamesname of a member of themembers within theJSON object representing a JWE Header. Header ParameterValuesValue Thevaluesvalue of a member of themembers within theJSON object representing a JWE Header. JWE Compact Serialization A representation of the JWE as the concatenation of the Encoded JWE Header, the Encoded JWE Encrypted Key, the Encoded JWE Ciphertext, and the Encoded JWE Integrity Value in that order, with the four strings being separated by period ('.') characters. AEAD Algorithm An Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) [RFC5116] encryption algorithm is one that provides an integrated content integrity check. AES Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) is one such algorithm. Base64url Encoding For the purposes of this specification, this term always refers to the URL- and filename-safe Base64 encoding described in RFC 4648 [RFC4648], Section 5, with the (non URL- safe) '=' padding characters omitted, as permitted by Section 3.2. (See AppendixBC of [JWS] for notes on implementing base64url encoding without padding.) Collision Resistant Namespace A namespace that allows names to be allocated in a manner such that they are highly unlikely to collide with other names. For instance, collision resistance can be achieved through administrative delegation of portions of the namespace or through use of collision-resistant name allocation functions. Examples of Collision Resistant Namespaces include: Domain Names, Object Identifiers (OIDs) as defined in the ITU-T X.660 and X.670 Recommendation series, and Universally Unique IDentifiers (UUIDs) [RFC4122]. When using an administratively delegated namespace, the definer of a name needs to take reasonable precautions to ensure they are in control of the portion of the namespace they use to define the name. StringOrURI A JSON string value, with the additional requirement that while arbitrary string values MAY be used, any value containing a ":" character MUST be a URIas defined in RFC 3986[RFC3986]. 3. JSON Web Encryption (JWE) Overview JWE represents encrypted content using JSON data structures and base64url encoding. The representation consists of four parts: the JWE Header, the JWE Encrypted Key, the JWE Ciphertext, and the JWE Integrity Value. In the Compact Serialization, the four parts are base64url-encoded for transmission, and represented as the concatenation of the encoded strings in that order, with the four strings being separated by period ('.') characters. (A JSON Serialization for this information is defined in the separate JSON Web Encryption JSON Serialization (JWE-JS) [JWE-JS] specification.) JWE utilizes encryption to ensure the confidentiality of thecontents of thePlaintext. JWE adds a content integrity check if not provided by the underlying encryption algorithm. 3.1. Example JWE with an Integrated Integrity Check This example encrypts the plaintext "Live long and prosper." to the recipient using RSAES OAEP and AES GCM. The AES GCM algorithm has an integrated integrity check. The following example JWE Header declares that: o the Content Master Key is encrypted to the recipient using theRSA-PKCS1_1.5RSAES OAEP algorithm to produce the JWE Encrypted Key, o the Plaintext is encrypted using theAES-256-GCMAES GCM algorithm with a 256 bit key to produce theJWECiphertext, and o thespecified96 bit Initialization Vector (IV) with the base64url encoding"__79_Pv6-fj39vX0""48V1_ALb6US04U3b" wasused, and o a JSON Web Key Set (JWK Set) representation of the public key used to encrypt the JWE is located at "https://example.com/public_key.jwk". {"alg":"RSA1_5", "enc":"A256GCM", "iv":"__79_Pv6-fj39vX0", "jku":"https://example.com/public_key.jwk"}used. {"alg":"RSA-OAEP","enc":"A256GCM","iv":"48V1_ALb6US04U3b"} Base64url encoding the bytes of the UTF-8 representation of the JWE Header yields this Encoded JWE Header value (with line breaks for display purposes only):eyJhbGciOiJSU0ExXzUiLA0KICJlbmMiOiJBMjU2R0NNIiwNCiAiaXYiOiJfXzc5 X1B2Ni1mZyIsDQogImprdSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXhhbXBsZS5jb20vcHVibGljX2tl eS5qd2sifQ TBD: FinisheyJhbGciOiJSU0EtT0FFUCIsImVuYyI6IkEyNTZHQ00iLCJpdiI6IjQ4VjFfQUxi NlVTMDRVM2IifQ The remaining steps to finish creating thisexample by showing generation ofJWE are: o Generate a random Content Master Key(CMK), saying that(CMK) o Encrypt the CMKis used as the CEK and there is no separate integrity check since AES GCM is an AEAD algorithm, usingwith the recipient's public key using the RSAES OAEP algorithm toencryptproduce theCMKJWE Encrypted Key o Base64url encode the JWE Encrypted Key to produce the Encoded JWE EncryptedKey, usingKey o Concatenate theCEK, IV,Encoded JWEHeader,Header value, a period character ('.'), and the Encoded JWE Encrypted Key toencryptcreate the "additional authenticated data" parameter for the AES GCM algorithm. o Encrypt the Plaintext with AES GCM, using the IV, the CMK as the encryption key, and the "additional authenticated data" value above, requesting a 128 bit "authentication tag" output o Base64url encode the resulting Ciphertext toproducecreate the Encoded JWE Ciphertextando Base64url encode the resulting "authentication tag"value, base64url encoding these values,to create the Encoded JWE Integrity Value o Assemble the final representation: The Compact Serialization of this result is the concatenation of the Encoded JWE Header, the Encoded JWE Encrypted Key, the Encoded JWE Ciphertext, andassemblingtheresult.

Example JWE with a Separate Integrity Check This example encrypts the plaintext "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country." to the recipient using RSAES- PKCS1-V1_5 and AES CBC. AES CBC does not have an integrated integrity check, so a separate integrity check calculation is performed using HMAC SHA-256, with separate encryption and integrity keys being derived from a master key using the Concat KDF with the SHA-256 digest function. The following example JWE Header (with line breaks for display purposes only) declares that: o the Content Master Key is encrypted to the recipient using theRSA-PKCS1_1.5RSAES-PKCS1-V1_5 algorithm to produce the JWE Encrypted Key, o the Plaintext is encrypted using theAES-256-CBCAES CBC algorithm with a 128 bit key to produce theJWECiphertext, o the JWE Integrity Value safeguarding the integrity of the Ciphertext and the parameters used to create it was computed with the HMAC SHA-256 algorithm, and o thespecified128 bit Initialization Vector (IV) with the base64url encoding "AxY8DCtDaGlsbGljb3RoZQ" wasused, and o the thumbprint of the X.509 certificate that corresponds to the key used to encrypt the JWE has the base64url encoding "7noOPq-hJ1_hCnvWh6IeYI2w9Q0". {"alg":"RSA1_5", "enc":"A256CBC", "int":"HS256", "iv":"AxY8DCtDaGlsbGljb3RoZQ", "x5t":"7noOPq-hJ1_hCnvWh6IeYI2w9Q0"} Because AES CBC is not an AEAD algorithm (and so provides no integrated content integrity check), a separate integrity check value isused. {"alg":"RSA1_5","enc":"A128CBC","int":"HS256","iv":"AxY8DCtDaGls bGljb3RoZQ"} Base64url encoding the bytes of the UTF-8 representation of the JWE Header yields this Encoded JWE Header value (with line breaks for display purposes only):eyJhbGciOiJSU0ExXzUiLA0KICJlbmMiOiJBMjU2Q0JDIiwNCiAiaW50IjoiSFMy NTYiLA0KICJpdiI6Ik16LW1XXzRKSGZnIiwNCiAieDV0IjoiN25vT1BxLWhKMV9o Q252V2g2SWVZSTJ3OVEwIn0 TBD: FinisheyJhbGciOiJSU0ExXzUiLCJlbmMiOiJBMTI4Q0JDIiwiaW50IjoiSFMyNTYiLCJp diI6IkF4WThEQ3REYUdsc2JHbGpiM1JvWlEifQ The remaining steps to finish creating thisexample by showing generation ofJWE are like the previous example, but with an additional step to compute the separate integrity value: o Generate a random Content Master Key(CMK), showing the derivation of the CEK and the CIK from(CMK) o Encrypt theCMK, usingCMK with the recipient's public key using the RSAES- PKCS1-V1_5 algorithm toencryptproduce theCMKJWE Encrypted Key o Base64url encode the JWE Encrypted Key to produce the Encoded JWE EncryptedKey,Key o Use the Concat key derivation function to derive Content Encryption Key (CEK) and Content Integrity Key (CIK) values from the CMK o Encrypt the Plaintext with AES CBC using the CEK and IV toencryptproduce thePlaintextCiphertext o Base64url encode the resulting Ciphertext toproducecreate theCiphertext, showingEncoded JWE Ciphertext o Concatenate thecomputationEncoded JWE Header value, a period character ('.'), the Encoded JWE Encrypted Key, a second period character, and the Encoded JWE Ciphertext to create the value to integrity protect o Compute the HMAC SHA-256 of this value using the CIK to create the JWE IntegrityValue, base64url encoding these values,Value o Base64url encode the resulting JWE Integrity Value to create the Encoded JWE Integrity Value o Assemble the final representation: The Compact Serialization of this result is the concatenation of the Encoded JWE Header, the Encoded JWE Encrypted Key, the Encoded JWE Ciphertext, andassemblingtheresult. eyJhbGciOiJSU0ExXzUiLA0KICJlbmMiOiJBMjU2Q0JDIiwNCiAiaW50IjoiSFMy NTYiLA0KICJpdiI6Ik16LW1XXzRKSGZnIiwNCiAieDV0IjoiN25vT1BxLWhKMV9o Q252V2g2SWVZSTJ3OVEwIn0 .

JWE Header The members of the JSON object represented by the JWE Header describe the encryption applied to the Plaintext and optionally additional properties of the JWE. The Header Parameter Names within this object MUST be unique; JWEs with duplicate Header Parameter Names MUST be rejected. Implementations MUST understand the entire contents of the header; otherwise, the JWE MUST be rejected. There are two ways of distinguishing whether a header is a JWS Header or a JWE Header. The first is by examining the "alg" (algorithm) header value. If the value represents a digital signature or MAC algorithm, or is the value "none", it is for a JWS; if it represents an encryption or key agreement algorithm, it is for a JWE. A second method is determining whether an "enc" (encryption method) member exists. If the "enc" member exists, it is a JWE; otherwise, it is a JWS. Both methods will yield the same result. There are three classes of Header Parameter Names: Reserved Header Parameter Names, Public Header Parameter Names, and Private Header Parameter Names. 4.1. Reserved Header Parameter Names The following header parameter names are reserved with meanings as defined below. All the names are short because a core goal of JWE is for the representations to be compact. Additional reserved header parameter names MAY be defined via the IANA JSON Web Signature and Encryption Header Parameters registry[JWA].[JWS]. As indicated by the common registry, JWSs and JWEs share a common header parameter space; when a parameter is used by both specifications, its usage must be compatible between the specifications. 4.1.1. "alg" (Algorithm) Header Parameter The "alg" (algorithm) header parameter identifies the cryptographic algorithm used tosecure the JWE Encrypted Key. A list of defined "alg" values for use with JWE is presented in Section 4.1 ofencrypt or reach agreement upon theJSON Web Algorithms (JWA) [JWA] specification.Content Master Key (CMK). Theprocessing ofalgorithm specified by the "alg"header parameter requires that thevalue MUST beone that is bothsupported by the implementation andfor whichthereexistsMUST be a key for use with that algorithm associated with the intendedrecipient.recipient or the JWE MUST be rejected. The "alg" value is case sensitive. Its value MUST be a string containing a StringOrURI value. This header parameter is REQUIRED. A list of defined "alg" values for use with JWE is presented in Section 4.1 of the JSON Web Algorithms (JWA) [JWA] specification. "alg" values SHOULD either bedefinedregistered in the IANA JSON Web Signature and Encryption Algorithms registry [JWA] or be a URI that contains acollision resistant namespace.Collision Resistant Namespace. 4.1.2.

This header parameter isOPTIONAL. 4.1.6.OPTIONAL, although its use is REQUIRED with some "alg" algorithms. 4.1.7. "zip" (Compression Algorithm) Header Parameter The "zip" (compression algorithm) applied to the Plaintext before encryption, if any. If present, the value of the "zip" header parameter MUST be the case sensitive string "DEF". Compression is performed with the DEFLATE [RFC1951] algorithm. If no "zip" parameter is present, no compression is applied to the Plaintext before encryption. This header parameter is OPTIONAL.4.1.7.4.1.8. "jku" (JWK Set URL) Header Parameter The "jku" (JWK Set URL) header parameter isan absolute URLa URI [RFC3986] that refers to a resource for a set of JSON-encoded public keys, one of which corresponds to the key used to encrypt the JWE; this can be used to determine the private key needed to decrypt the JWE. The keys MUST be encoded as a JSON Web Key Set (JWK Set)as defined in the JSON Web Key (JWK) [JWK] specification.[JWK]. The protocol used to acquire the resource MUST provide integrity protection; an HTTP GET request to retrieve the certificate MUST use TLSRFC 2818[RFC2818]RFC 5246[RFC5246]; the identity of the server MUST be validated, as per Section 3.1 of HTTP Over TLS [RFC2818]. This header parameter is OPTIONAL.4.1.8.4.1.9. "jwk" (JSON Web Key) Header Parameter The "jwk" (JSON Web Key) header parameter is a public key that corresponds to the key used to encrypt the JWE; this can be used to determine the private key needed to decrypt the JWE. This key is represented as a JSON Web Key [JWK]. This header parameter is OPTIONAL.4.1.9.4.1.10. "x5u" (X.509 URL) Header Parameter The "x5u" (X.509 URL) header parameter isan absolute URLa URI [RFC3986] that refers to a resource for the X.509 public key certificate or certificate chain [RFC5280] corresponding to the key used to encrypt the JWE; this can be used to determine the private key needed to decrypt the JWE. The identified resource MUST provide a representation of the certificate or certificate chain that conforms to RFC 5280 [RFC5280] in PEM encoded formRFC 1421[RFC1421]. The certificate containing the public key of the entity that encrypted the JWE MUST be the first certificate. This MAY be followed by additional certificates, with each subsequent certificate being the one used to certify the previous one. The protocol used to acquire the resource MUST provide integrity protection; an HTTP GET request to retrieve the certificate MUST use TLSRFC 2818[RFC2818]RFC 5246[RFC5246]; the identity of the server MUST be validated, as per Section 3.1 of HTTP Over TLS [RFC2818]. This header parameter is OPTIONAL.4.1.10.4.1.11. "x5t" (X.509 Certificate Thumbprint) Header Parameter The "x5t" (X.509 Certificate Thumbprint) header parameter provides a base64url encoded SHA-1 thumbprint (a.k.a. digest) of the DER encoding of the X.509 certificate [RFC5280] corresponding to the key used to encrypt the JWE; this can be used to determine the private key needed to decrypt the JWE. This header parameter is OPTIONAL. If, in the future, certificate thumbprints need to be computed using hash functions other than SHA-1, it is suggested that additional related header parameters be defined for that purpose. For example, it is suggested that a new "x5t#S256" (X.509 Certificate Thumbprint using SHA-256) header parameter could be defined by registering it in the IANA JSON Web Signature and Encryption Header Parameters registry[JWA]. 4.1.11.[JWS]. 4.1.12. "x5c" (X.509 Certificate Chain) Header Parameter The "x5c" (X.509 Certificate Chain) header parameter contains the X.509 public key certificate or certificate chain [RFC5280] corresponding to the key used to encrypt the JWE; this can be used to determine the private key needed to decrypt the JWE. The certificate or certificate chain is represented as an array of certificate values. Each value is abase64-encoded (notbase64 encoded ([RFC4648] Section 4 - not base64url encoded)DER/BERDER [ITU.X690.1994] PKIX certificate value. The certificate containing the public key of the entity that encrypted the JWE MUST be the first certificate. This MAY be followed by additional certificates, with each subsequent certificate being the one used to certify the previous one. The recipient MUST verify the certificate chain according to [RFC5280] and reject the JWE if any validation failure occurs. This header parameter is OPTIONAL.4.1.12.See Appendix B of [JWS] for an example "x5c" value. 4.1.13. "kid" (Key ID) Header Parameter The "kid" (key ID) header parameter is a hint indicating which key was used to encrypt the JWE; this can be used to determine the private key needed to decrypt the JWE. This parameter allows originators to explicitly signal a change of key to recipients. Should the recipient be unable to locate a key corresponding to the "kid" value, they SHOULD treat that condition as an error. The interpretation of thecontents of the"kid"parametervalue is unspecified. Its value MUST be a string. This header parameter is OPTIONAL.4.1.13.When used with a JWK, the "kid" value MAY be used to match a JWK "kid" parameter value. 4.1.14. "typ" (Type) Header Parameter The "typ" (type) header parameter is used to declare the type ofthe encrypted content.this object. The type value "JWE" MAY be used to indicate thatthe encrypted contentthis object is a JWE. The "typ" value is case sensitive. Its value MUST be a string. This header parameter is OPTIONAL. MIME Media TypeRFC 2045 [RFC2045][RFC2046] values MAY be used as "typ" values. "typ" values SHOULD either bedefinedregistered in the IANA JSON Web Signature and Encryption"typ"Type Values registry[JWA][JWS] or be a URI that contains acollision resistant namespace.Collision Resistant Namespace. 4.1.15. "cty" (Content Type) Header Parameter The "cty" (content type) header parameter is used to declare the type of the encrypted content (the Plaintext). The "cty" value is case sensitive. Its value MUST be a string. This header parameter is OPTIONAL. The values used for the "cty" header parameter come from the same value space as the "typ" header parameter, with the same rules applying. 4.2. Public Header Parameter Names Additional header parameter names can be defined by those using JWEs. However, in order to prevent collisions, any new header parameter name SHOULD either bedefinedregistered in the IANA JSON Web Signature and Encryption Header Parameters registry[JWA][JWS] or be a URI that contains acollision resistant namespace.Collision Resistant Namespace. In each case, the definer of the name or value needs to take reasonable precautions to make sure they are in control of the part of the namespace they use to define the header parameter name. New header parameters should be introduced sparingly, as they can result in non-interoperable JWEs. 4.3. Private Header Parameter Names A producer and consumer of a JWE may agree to any header parameter name that is not a Reserved Name Section 4.1 or a Public Name Section 4.2. Unlike Public Names, these private names are subject to collision and should be used with caution. 5. Message Encryption The message encryption process is as follows. The order of the steps is not significant in cases where there are no dependencies between the inputs and outputs of the steps. 1. When key wrapping or key encryption are employed, generate a random Content Master Key (CMK). See RFC 4086 [RFC4086] for considerations on generating random values. Otherwise, when key agreement is employed, use the key agreement algorithm to compute the value of the Content Master Key (CMK). The CMK MUST have a length equal to that of the larger of the required encryption and integrity keys. 2. When key wrapping or key encryption are employed, encrypt the CMK for the recipient (see Section8)7) and let the result be the JWE Encrypted Key. Otherwise, when key agreement is employed, let the JWE Encrypted Key be an empty byte array. 3. Base64url encode the JWE Encrypted Key to create the Encoded JWE Encrypted Key. 4. Generate a random Initialization Vector (IV) of the correct size for the algorithm (if required for the algorithm). 5. If not using an AEAD algorithm, run the key derivation algorithm(see Section 7)specified by the "kdf" header parameter to generate the Content Encryption Key (CEK) and the Content Integrity Key (CIK); otherwise (when using an AEAD algorithm), set the CEK to be the CMK. 6. Compress the Plaintext if a "zip" parameter was included. 7. Serialize the (compressed) Plaintext into a byte sequence M. 8. Create a JWE Header containing the encryption parameters used. Note that white space is explicitly allowed in the representation and no canonicalization need be performed before encoding. 9. Base64url encode the bytes of the UTF-8 representation of the JWE Header to create the Encoded JWE Header. 10. Encrypt M using the CEK and IV to form the byte sequence C. If an AEAD algorithm is used, use the bytes of the ASCII representation of the concatenation of the Encoded JWE Header, a period ('.') character, and the Encoded JWE Encrypted Key as the "additional authenticated data" parameter value for the encryption.9.11. Base64url encode C to create the Encoded JWE Ciphertext.10. Create a JWE Header containing the encryption parameters used. Note that white space is explicitly allowed in the representation and no canonicalization need be performed before encoding. 11. Base64url encode the bytes of the UTF-8 representation of the JWE Header to create the Encoded JWE Header.12. If not using an AEAD algorithm, run the integrity algorithm (see Section9)8) using the CIK to compute the JWE Integrity Value; otherwise (when using an AEAD algorithm), set the JWE Integrity Value to be the "authentication tag" value produced by the AEAD algorithm. 13. Base64url encode the JWE Integrity Value to create the Encoded JWE Integrity Value. 14. The four encoded parts, taken together, are the result. 15. The Compact Serialization of this result is the concatenation of the Encoded JWE Header, the Encoded JWE Encrypted Key, the Encoded JWE Ciphertext, and the Encoded JWE Integrity Value in that order, with the four strings being separated by period ('.') characters. 6. Message Decryption The message decryption process is the reverse of the encryption process. The order of the steps is not significant in cases where there are no dependencies between the inputs and outputs of the steps. If any of these steps fails, the JWE MUST be rejected. 1.Parse the four parts of the input (which are separated by period characters when using the JWE Compact Serialization) intoDetermine the Encoded JWE Header, the Encoded JWE Encrypted Key, the Encoded JWE Ciphertext, and the Encoded JWE IntegrityValue.Value values contained in the JWE. When using the Compact Serialization, these four values are represented in that order, separated by period characters. 2. The Encoded JWE Header, the Encoded JWE Encrypted Key, the Encoded JWE Ciphertext, and the Encoded JWE Integrity Value MUST be successfully base64url decoded following the restriction that no padding characters have been used. 3. The resulting JWE Header MUST be completely valid JSON syntax conforming to RFC 4627 [RFC4627]. 4. The resulting JWE Header MUST be validated to only include parameters and values whose syntax and semantics are both understood and supported. 5. Verify that the JWE Header references a key known to the recipient. 6. When key wrapping or key encryption are employed, decrypt the JWE Encrypted Key to produce the Content Master Key (CMK). Otherwise, when key agreement is employed, use the key agreement algorithm to compute the value of the Content Master Key (CMK). The CMK MUST have a length equal to that of the larger of the required encryption and integrity keys. 7. If not using an AEAD algorithm, run the key derivation algorithm(see Section 7)specified by the "kdf" header parameter to generate the Content Encryption Key (CEK) and the Content Integrity Key (CIK); otherwise (when using an AEAD algorithm), set the CEK to be the CMK. 8. Decrypt the binary representation of the JWE Ciphertext using the CEK and IV. If an AEAD algorithm is used, use the bytes of the ASCII representation of the concatenation of the Encoded JWE Header, a period ('.') character, and the Encoded JWE Encrypted Key as the "additional authenticated data" parameter value for the decryption. 9. If not using an AEAD algorithm, run the integrity algorithm (see Section9)8) using the CIK to compute an integrity value for the input received. This computed value MUST match the received JWE Integrity Value; otherwise (when using an AEAD algorithm), the received JWE Integrity Value MUST match the "authentication tag" value produced by the AEAD algorithm. 10. Uncompress the result of the previous step, if a "zip" parameter was included. 11. Output the resulting Plaintext. 7.Key Derivation The key derivation process converts the CMK into a CEK and a CIK. It assumes as a primitive a Key Derivation Function (KDF) which notionally takes three arguments: MasterKey: The master key used to compute the individual use keys Label: The use key label, used to differentiate individual use keys Length: The desired length of the use key The only KDF used in this document is the Concat KDF, as defined in Section 5.8.1 of [NIST.800-56A], where the Digest Method is SHA-256, the SuppPubInfo parameter is the Label, and the remaining OtherInfo parameters are the empty bit string. To compute the CEK from the CMK, the ASCII label "Encryption" ([69, 110, 99, 114, 121, 112, 116, 105, 111, 110]) is used. Use the key size for the "enc" algorithm as the CEK desired key length. To compute the CIK from the CMK, the ASCII label "Integrity" ([73, 110, 116, 101, 103, 114, 105, 116, 121]) is used. Use the minimum key size for the "int" algorithm (for instance, 256 bits for "HS256") as the CIK desired key length. 8.CMK Encryption JWE supports two forms ofCMKContent Master Key (CMK) encryption: o Asymmetric encryption under the recipient's public key. o Symmetric encryption under a key sharedkey. 8.1. Asymmetric Encryption In the asymmetric encryption mode,between theCMK is encrypted undersender and receiver. See therecipient's public key. The asymmetric encryption modes definedalgorithms registered foruse with this in this specification are listed"enc" usage inSection 4.1 ofthe IANA JSON Web Signature and Encryption Algorithms(JWA)registry [JWA]specification. 8.2. Symmetric Encryption In the symmetric encryption mode, the CMK is encrypted under a symmetric key shared between the senderandreceiver. The symmetric encryption modes defined for use with this in this specification are listed inSection 4.1 of the JSON Web Algorithms (JWA) [JWA]specification. 9.specification for lists of encryption algorithms that can be used for CMK encryption. 8. Integrity Value Calculation When a non-AEAD algorithm is used (an algorithm without an integrated content check), JWE adds an explicit integrity check value to the representation. This value is computed in the manner described in the JSON Web Signature (JWS) [JWS] specification, with these modifications: o The algorithm used is taken from the "int" (integrity algorithm) header parameter rather than the "alg" header parameter. o The algorithm MUST be a MAC algorithm(normally(such as HMAC SHA-256). o The JWS Secured Input used is the bytes of the ASCII representation of the concatenation of the Encoded JWE Header, a period ('.') character, the Encoded JWE Encrypted Key, a period ('.') character, and the Encoded JWE Ciphertext. o The CIK is used as the MAC key. The computed JWS Signature value is the resulting integrity value.10.9. Encrypting JWEs with Cryptographic Algorithms JWE uses cryptographic algorithms to encrypt the Plaintext and the Content Encryption Key (CMK) and to provide integrity protection for the JWE Header, JWE Encrypted Key, and JWE Ciphertext. The JSON Web Algorithms (JWA) [JWA] specificationenumeratesspecifies a set of cryptographic algorithms and identifiers to be used with thisspecification.specification and defines registries for additional such algorithms. Specifically, Section 4.1enumeratesspecifies a set of "alg" (algorithm) header parameter values, Section 4.2enumeratesspecifies a set of "enc" (encryption method) header parameter values,andSection 4.3enumeratesspecifies a set of "int" (integrity algorithm) header parameter values, and Section 4.4 specifies a set of "kdf" (key derivation function) header parameter values intended for use this specification. It also describes the semantics and operations that are specific to these algorithms and algorithm families. Public keys employed for encryption can be identified using the Header Parameter methods described in Section 4.1 or can be distributed using methods that are outside the scope of this specification.11.10.

Open Issuesand Things To Be Done (TBD)[[ to be removed by the RFC editor before publication as an RFC ]] The following items remain to be considered or done in this draft: oAdd examples, includingShould we define an optional nonce and/or timestamp header parameter? (Use of a nonce is an effective countermeasure to some kinds of attacks.) o When doing key agreement, do we want to also use aKDFseparate CMK and encrypt the CMK with the agreed upon key or just use the agreed upon key directly as the CMK? Having a CMK would have value in the multiple recipients case, as it would allow multiple recipients to share the same ciphertext even when key agreementexample. 14.is used, but it seems that it's just extra overhead in the single recipient case. o Do we want to consolidate the combination of the "enc", "int", and "kdf" parameters into a single new "enc" parameter defining composite AEAD algorithms? For instance, we might define a composite algorithm A128CBC with HS256 and CS256 and another composite algorithm A256CBC with HS512 and CS512. A symmetry argument for doing this is that the "int" and "kdf" parameters are not used with AEAD algorithms. An argument against it is that in some cases, integrity is not needed because it's provided by other means, and so having the flexibility to not use an "int" algorithm or key derivation with a non-AEAD "enc" algorithm could be useful. 13.

These results can be used to validate JWE decryptionstepsimplementations for these algorithms. However, note that since the RSAES OAEP computation includes random values, the results above will not be repeatable. A.2. Example JWE using RSAES-PKCS1-V1_5 and AES CBC This example encrypts the plaintext "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country." to the recipient using RSAES- PKCS1-V1_5 and AES CBC. AES CBC does not have an integrated integrity check, so a separate integrity check calculation is performed using HMAC SHA-256, with separate encryption and integrity keys being derived from a master key using the Concat KDF with the SHA-256 digest function. The representation of this plaintext is: [78, 111, 119, 32, 105, 115, 32, 116, 104, 101, 32, 116, 105, 109, 101, 32, 102, 111, 114, 32, 97, 108, 108, 32, 103, 111, 111, 100, 32, 109, 101, 110, 32, 116, 111, 32, 99, 111, 109, 101, 32, 116, 111, 32, 116, 104, 101, 32, 97, 105, 100, 32, 111, 102, 32, 116, 104, 101, 105, 114, 32, 99, 111, 117, 110, 116, 114, 121, 46] A.2.1. JWE Header The following example JWE Header (with line breaks for display purposes only) declares that: o the Content Master Key is encrypted to the recipient using the RSAES-PKCS1-V1_5 algorithm to produce the JWE Encrypted Key, o the Plaintext is encrypted using the AES CBC algorithm with a 128 bit key to produce the Ciphertext, o the JWE Integrity Value safeguarding the integrity of the Ciphertext and the parameters used to create it was computed with the HMAC SHA-256 algorithm, and o the 128 bit Initialization Vector (IV) [3, 22, 60, 12, 43, 67, 104, 105, 108, 108, 105, 99, 111, 116, 104, 101] with the base64url encoding "AxY8DCtDaGlsbGljb3RoZQ" was used. {"alg":"RSA1_5","enc":"A128CBC","int":"HS256","iv":"AxY8DCtDaGls bGljb3RoZQ"} A.2.2. Encoded JWE Header Base64url encoding the bytes of the UTF-8 representation of the JWE Header yields this Encoded JWE Header value (with line breaks for display purposes only): eyJhbGciOiJSU0ExXzUiLCJlbmMiOiJBMTI4Q0JDIiwiaW50IjoiSFMyNTYiLCJp diI6IkF4WThEQ3REYUdsc2JHbGpiM1JvWlEifQ A.2.3. Content Master Key (CMK) Generate a random Content Master Key (CMK). In this example, the key value is: [4, 211, 31, 197, 84, 157, 252, 254, 11, 100, 157, 250, 63, 170, 106, 206, 107, 124, 212, 45, 111, 107, 9, 219, 200, 177, 0, 240, 143, 156, 44, 207] A.2.4.

Validation This example illustrates the process of creating a JWE with a non- AEAD algorithm. These results can be used to validate JWE decryption implementations for these algorithms. Since all the algorithms used in this example produce deterministic results, the results above should be repeatable. A.3. Example Key Derivation with Outputs <= Hash Size This example uses the Concat KDF to derive the Content Encryption Key (CEK) and Content Integrity Key (CIK) from the Content Master Key (CMK) in the manner described in Section 4.12 of [JWA]. In this example, a 256 bit CMK is used to derive a 128 bit CEK and a 256 bit CIK. The CMK value is: [4, 211, 31, 197, 84, 157, 252, 254, 11, 100, 157, 250, 63, 170, 106, 206, 107, 124, 212, 45, 111, 107, 9, 219, 200, 177, 0, 240, 143, 156, 44, 207] A.3.1. CEK Generation When deriving the CEK from the CMK, the ASCII label "Encryption" ([69, 110, 99, 114, 121, 112, 116, 105, 111, 110]) is used. The input to the first hash round is the concatenation of the big endian number 1 ([0, 0, 0, 1]), the CMK, and the label. Thus the round 1 hash input is: [0, 0, 0, 1, 4, 211, 31, 197, 84, 157, 252, 254, 11, 100, 157, 250, 63, 170, 106, 206, 107, 124, 212, 45, 111, 107, 9, 219, 200, 177, 0, 240, 143, 156, 44, 207, 69, 110, 99, 114, 121, 112, 116, 105, 111, 110] The SHA-256 hash of this value, which is the round 1 hash output, is: [249, 255, 87, 218, 224, 223, 221, 53, 204, 121, 166, 130, 195, 184, 50, 69, 11, 237, 202, 71, 10, 96, 59, 199, 140, 88, 126, 147, 146, 113, 222, 41] Given that 128 bits are needed for the CEK and the hash has produced 256 bits, the CEK value is the first 128 bits of that value: [249, 255, 87, 218, 224, 223, 221, 53, 204, 121, 166, 130, 195, 184, 50, 69] A.3.2. CIK Generation When deriving the CIK from the CMK, the ASCII label "Integrity" ([73, 110, 116, 101, 103, 114, 105, 116, 121]) is used. The input to the first hash round is the concatenation of the big endian number 1 ([0, 0, 0, 1]), the CMK, and the label. Thus the round 1 hash input is: [0, 0, 0, 1, 4, 211, 31, 197, 84, 157, 252, 254, 11, 100, 157, 250, 63, 170, 106, 206, 107, 124, 212, 45, 111, 107, 9, 219, 200, 177, 0, 240, 143, 156, 44, 207, 73, 110, 116, 101, 103, 114, 105, 116, 121] The SHA-256 hash of this value, which is the round 1 hash output, is: [218, 209, 130, 50, 169, 45, 70, 214, 29, 187, 123, 20, 3, 158, 111, 122, 182, 94, 57, 133, 245, 76, 97, 44, 193, 80, 81, 246, 115, 177, 225, 159] Given that 256 bits are needed for the CIK and the hash has produced 256 bits, the CIK value is that same value: [218, 209, 130, 50, 169, 45, 70, 214, 29, 187, 123, 20, 3, 158, 111, 122, 182, 94, 57, 133, 245, 76, 97, 44, 193, 80, 81, 246, 115, 177, 225, 159] A.4. Example Key Derivation with Outputs >= Hash Size This example uses the Concat KDF to derive the Content Encryption Key (CEK) and Content Integrity Key (CIK) from the Content Master Key (CMK) in the manner described in Section 4.12 of [JWA]. In this example, a 512 bit CMK is used to derive a 256 bit CEK and a 512 bit CIK. The CMK value is: [148, 116, 199, 126, 2, 117, 233, 76, 150, 149, 89, 193, 61, 34, 239, 226, 109, 71, 59, 160, 192, 140, 150, 235, 106, 204, 49, 176, 68, 119, 13, 34, 49, 19, 41, 69, 5, 20, 252, 145, 104, 129, 137, 138, 67, 23, 153, 83, 81, 234, 82, 247, 48, 211, 41, 130, 35, 124, 45, 156, 249, 7, 225, 168] A.4.1. CEK Generation When deriving the CEK from the CMK, the ASCII label "Encryption" ([69, 110, 99, 114, 121, 112, 116, 105, 111, 110]) is used. The input to the first hash round is the concatenation of the big endian number 1 ([0, 0, 0, 1]), the CMK, and the label. Thus the round 1 hash input is: [0, 0, 0, 1, 148, 116, 199, 126, 2, 117, 233, 76, 150, 149, 89, 193, 61, 34, 239, 226, 109, 71, 59, 160, 192, 140, 150, 235, 106, 204, 49, 176, 68, 119, 13, 34, 49, 19, 41, 69, 5, 20, 252, 145, 104, 129, 137, 138, 67, 23, 153, 83, 81, 234, 82, 247, 48, 211, 41, 130, 35, 124, 45, 156, 249, 7, 225, 168, 69, 110, 99, 114, 121, 112, 116, 105, 111, 110] The SHA-256 hash of this value, which is the round 1 hash output, is: [137, 5, 92, 9, 17, 47, 17, 86, 253, 235, 34, 247, 121, 78, 11, 144, 10, 172, 38, 247, 108, 243, 201, 237, 95, 80, 49, 150, 116, 240, 159, 64] Given that 256 bits are needed for the CEK and the hash has produced 256 bits, the CEK value is that same value: [137, 5, 92, 9, 17, 47, 17, 86, 253, 235, 34, 247, 121, 78, 11, 144, 10, 172, 38, 247, 108, 243, 201, 237, 95, 80, 49, 150, 116, 240, 159, 64] A.4.2. CIK Generation When deriving the CIK from the CMK, the ASCII label "Integrity" ([73, 110, 116, 101, 103, 114, 105, 116, 121]) is used. The input to the first hash round is the concatenation of the big endian number 1 ([0, 0, 0, 1]), the CMK, and the label. Thus the round 1 hash input is: [0, 0, 0, 1, 148, 116, 199, 126, 2, 117, 233, 76, 150, 149, 89, 193, 61, 34, 239, 226, 109, 71, 59, 160, 192, 140, 150, 235, 106, 204, 49, 176, 68, 119, 13, 34, 49, 19, 41, 69, 5, 20, 252, 145, 104, 129, 137, 138, 67, 23, 153, 83, 81, 234, 82, 247, 48, 211, 41, 130, 35, 124, 45, 156, 249, 7, 225, 168, 73, 110, 116, 101, 103, 114, 105, 116, 121] The SHA-256 hash of this value, which is the round 1 hash output, is: [11, 179, 132, 177, 171, 24, 126, 19, 113, 1, 200, 102, 100, 74, 88, 149, 31, 41, 71, 57, 51, 179, 106, 242, 113, 211, 56, 56, 37, 198, 57, 17] Given that 512 bits are needed for the CIK and the hash has produced only 256 bits, another round is needed. The input to the second hash round is the concatenation of the big endian number 2 ([0, 0, 0, 2]), the CMK, and the label. Thus the round 2 hash input is: [0, 0, 0, 2, 148, 116, 199, 126, 2, 117, 233, 76, 150, 149, 89, 193, 61, 34, 239, 226, 109, 71, 59, 160, 192, 140, 150, 235, 106, 204, 49, 176, 68, 119, 13, 34, 49, 19, 41, 69, 5, 20, 252, 145, 104, 129, 137, 138, 67, 23, 153, 83, 81, 234, 82, 247, 48, 211, 41, 130, 35, 124, 45, 156, 249, 7, 225, 168, 73, 110, 116, 101, 103, 114, 105, 116, 121] The SHA-256 hash of this value, which is the round 2 hash output, is: [149, 209, 221, 113, 40, 191, 95, 252, 142, 254, 141, 230, 39, 113, 139, 84, 44, 156, 247, 47, 223, 101, 229, 180, 82, 231, 38, 96, 170, 119, 236, 81] Given that 512 bits are needed for the CIK and the two rounds have collectively produced 512 bits of output, the CIK is the concatenation of the round 1 and round 2 hash outputs, which is: [11, 179, 132, 177, 171, 24, 126, 19, 113, 1, 200, 102, 100, 74, 88, 149, 31, 41, 71, 57, 51, 179, 106, 242, 113, 211, 56, 56, 37, 198, 57, 17, 149, 209, 221, 113, 40, 191, 95, 252, 142, 254, 141, 230, 39, 113, 139, 84, 44, 156, 247, 47, 223, 101, 229, 180, 82, 231, 38, 96, 170, 119, 236, 81] Appendix B.

This draft attempts to explicitly reuse as many of the relevant concepts from XML Encryption 1.1 [W3C.CR-xmlenc-core1-20120313] and RFC 5652 [RFC5652] as possible, while utilizing simple compact JSON-based data structures. Special thanks are due to John Bradley and Nat Sakimura for the discussions that helped inform the content of this specification and to Eric Rescorla and Joe Hildebrand for allowing the reuse of text from [I-D.rescorla-jsms] in this document. My thanks to Axel Nennker, Emmanuel Raviart, Brian Campbell, and Edmund Jay for validating the examples in this specification. Appendix C. Document History [[ to be removed by the RFC editor before publication as an RFC ]] -03 o Added the "kdf" (key derivation function) header parameter to provide crypto agility for key derivation. The default KDF remains the Concat KDF with the SHA-256 digest function. o Reordered encryption steps so that the Encoded JWE Header is always created before it is needed as an input to the AEAD "additional authenticated data" parameter. o Added the "cty" (content type) header parameter for declaring type information about the secured content, as opposed to the "typ" (type) header parameter, which declares type information about this object. o Moved description of how to determine whether a header is for a JWS or a JWE from the JWT spec to the JWE spec. o Added complete encryption examples for both AEAD and non-AEAD algorithms. o Added complete key derivation examples. o Added "Collision Resistant Namespace" to the terminology section. o Reference ITU.X690.1994 for DER encoding. o Added Registry Contents sections to populate registry values. o Numerous editorial improvements. -02 o When using AEAD algorithms (such as AES GCM), use the "additional authenticated data" parameter to provide integrity for the header, encrypted key, and ciphertext and use the resulting "authentication tag" value as the JWE Integrity Value. o Defined KDF output key sizes. o Generalized text to allow key agreement to be employed as an alternative to key wrapping or key encryption. o Changed compression algorithm from gzip to DEFLATE. o Clarified that it is an error when a "kid" value is included and no matching key is found. o Clarified that JWEs with duplicate Header Parameter Names MUST be rejected. o Clarified the relationship between "typ" header parameter values and MIME types. o Registered application/jwe MIME type and "JWE" typ header parameter value. o Simplified JWK terminology to get replace the "JWK Key Object" and "JWK Container Object" terms with simply "JSON Web Key (JWK)" and "JSON Web Key Set (JWK Set)" and to eliminate potential confusion between single keys and sets of keys. As part of this change, the header parameter name for a public key value was changed from "jpk" (JSON Public Key) to "jwk" (JSON Web Key). o Added suggestion on defining additional header parameters such as "x5t#S256" in the future for certificate thumbprints using hash algorithms other than SHA-1. o Specify RFC 2818 server identity validation, rather than RFC 6125 (paralleling the same decision in the OAuth specs). o Generalized language to refer to Message Authentication Codes (MACs) rather than Hash-based Message Authentication Codes (HMACs) unless in a context specific to HMAC algorithms. o Reformatted to give each header parameter its own section heading. -01 o Added an integrity check for non-AEAD algorithms. o Added "jpk" and "x5c" header parameters for including JWK public keys and X.509 certificate chains directly in the header. o Clarified that this specification is defining the JWE Compact Serialization. Referenced the new JWE-JS spec, which defines the JWE JSON Serialization. o Added text "New header parameters should be introduced sparingly since an implementation that does not understand a parameter MUST reject the JWE". o Clarified that the order of the encryption and decryption steps is not significant in cases where there are no dependencies between the inputs and outputs of the steps. o Made other editorial improvements suggested by JOSE working group participants. -00 o Created the initial IETF draft based upon draft-jones-json-web-encryption-02 with no normative changes. o Changed terminology to no longer call both digital signatures and HMACs "signatures".
