jwt/encrypt.EncryptJWT
The EncryptJWT class is a utility for creating Compact JWE formatted JWT strings.
example
ESM import
import { EncryptJWT } from 'jose/jwt/encrypt'
example
CJS import
const { EncryptJWT } = require('jose/jwt/encrypt')
example
Usage
const jwt = await new EncryptJWT({ 'urn:example:claim': true })
.setProtectedHeader({ alg: 'dir', enc: 'A256GCM' })
.setIssuedAt()
.setIssuer('urn:example:issuer')
.setAudience('urn:example:audience')
.setExpirationTime('2h')
.encrypt(secretKey)
console.log(jwt)

• new EncryptJWT(payload
)
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
payload |
JWTPayload |
The JWT Claims Set object. |
ProduceJWT.constructor
▸ encrypt(key
, options?
): Promise
<string
>
Encrypts and returns the JWT.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
key |
KeyLike |
Public Key or Secret to encrypt the JWT with. |
options? |
EncryptOptions |
JWE Encryption options. |
Promise
<string
>
▸ replicateAudienceAsHeader(): EncryptJWT
Replicates the "aud" (Audience) Claim as a JWE Protected Header Parameter as per RFC7519#section-5.3.
▸ replicateIssuerAsHeader(): EncryptJWT
Replicates the "iss" (Issuer) Claim as a JWE Protected Header Parameter as per RFC7519#section-5.3.
▸ replicateSubjectAsHeader(): EncryptJWT
Replicates the "sub" (Subject) Claim as a JWE Protected Header Parameter as per RFC7519#section-5.3.
▸ setAudience(audience
): EncryptJWT
Set "aud" (Audience) Claim.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
audience |
string | string [] |
"aud" (Audience) Claim value to set on the JWT Claims Set. |
ProduceJWT.setAudience
▸ setContentEncryptionKey(cek
): EncryptJWT
Sets a content encryption key to use, by default a random suitable one is generated for the JWE enc" (Encryption Algorithm) Header Parameter. You do not need to invoke this method, it is only really intended for test and vector validation purposes.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
cek |
Uint8Array |
JWE Content Encryption Key. |
▸ setExpirationTime(input
): EncryptJWT
Set "exp" (Expiration Time) Claim.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
input |
string | number |
"exp" (Expiration Time) Claim value to set on the JWT Claims Set. When number is passed that is used as a value, when string is passed it is resolved to a time span and added to the current timestamp. |
ProduceJWT.setExpirationTime
▸ setInitializationVector(iv
): EncryptJWT
Sets the JWE Initialization Vector to use for content encryption, by default a random suitable one is generated for the JWE enc" (Encryption Algorithm) Header Parameter. You do not need to invoke this method, it is only really intended for test and vector validation purposes.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
iv |
Uint8Array |
JWE Initialization Vector. |
▸ setIssuedAt(input?
): EncryptJWT
Set "iat" (Issued At) Claim.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
input? |
number |
"iat" (Issued At) Claim value to set on the JWT Claims Set. Default is current timestamp. |
ProduceJWT.setIssuedAt
▸ setIssuer(issuer
): EncryptJWT
Set "iss" (Issuer) Claim.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
issuer |
string |
"Issuer" Claim value to set on the JWT Claims Set. |
ProduceJWT.setIssuer
▸ setJti(jwtId
): EncryptJWT
Set "jti" (JWT ID) Claim.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
jwtId |
string |
"jti" (JWT ID) Claim value to set on the JWT Claims Set. |
ProduceJWT.setJti
▸ setKeyManagementParameters(parameters
): EncryptJWT
Sets the JWE Key Management parameters to be used when encrypting. Use of this is method is really only needed for ECDH-ES based algorithms when utilizing the Agreement PartyUInfo or Agreement PartyVInfo parameters. Other parameters will always be randomly generated when needed and missing.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
parameters |
JWEKeyManagementHeaderParameters |
JWE Key Management parameters. |
▸ setNotBefore(input
): EncryptJWT
Set "nbf" (Not Before) Claim.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
input |
string | number |
"nbf" (Not Before) Claim value to set on the JWT Claims Set. When number is passed that is used as a value, when string is passed it is resolved to a time span and added to the current timestamp. |
ProduceJWT.setNotBefore
▸ setProtectedHeader(protectedHeader
): EncryptJWT
Sets the JWE Protected Header on the EncryptJWT object.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
protectedHeader |
JWEHeaderParameters |
JWE Protected Header. Must contain an "alg" (JWE Algorithm) and "enc" (JWE Encryption Algorithm) properties. |
▸ setSubject(subject
): EncryptJWT
Set "sub" (Subject) Claim.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
subject |
string |
"sub" (Subject) Claim value to set on the JWT Claims Set. |
