jose-jwe-dec - Decrypts a JWE using the supplied JWKs
jose jwe dec -i JWE [-I CT] -k JWK [-p] [-O PT]
The jose jwe dec command decrypts a JWE using one or more JWK (-k) or password (-p). Decryption succeeds if any key is able to perform decryption.
If the JWE is a detached JWE, meaning that the ciphertext is stored in binary form external to the JWE itself, the ciphertext can be loaded using the -I parameter.
Please note that, when specifying the -O option to output the plaintext, plaintext output begins before ciphertext validation. Therefore, you must check the return value of the command before using the data.
Decrypt a JWE with a JWK:
$ jose jwe dec -i msg.jwe -k rsa.key -O msg.txt
Decrypt a JWE with a password:
$ jose jwe dec -i msg.jwe -p -O msg.txt Please enter decryption password:
Decrypt a JWE with either of two JWKs:
$ jose jwe dec -i msg.jwe -k ec.jwk -k rsa.jwk -O msg.txt
