Examples of Protecting Content Using
JSON Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE)
Abstract
This document contains a set of examples using JSON Object Signing
and Encryption (JOSE) technology to protect data. These examples
present a representative sampling of JSON Web Key (JWK) objects as
well as various JSON Web Signature (JWS) and JSON Web Encryption
(JWE) results given similar inputs.
