Message-Level Encryption Using HTTP Signature Authentication

To use Message-Level Encryption (MLE) with HTTP Signature Authentication, you must send the encrypted payload with the CEK generated for each transaction. The serialized encrypted payload, the JWE, is passed as the request body.

Follow these steps to use MLE with HTTP Signature Authentication:

Generate the JWE.

Using the code shown here accomplishes these things:

Generates and encrypts the CEK with the recipient's public key using the RSAES-OAEP algorithm.

Produces the JWE encrypted key.

Generates the encrypted payload with AES GCM using the CEK as the encryption key.

//This Java example uses the following Maven dependency:
<dependency>
  <groupId>com.nimbusds</groupId>
  <artifactId>nimbus-jose-jwt</artifactId>
  <version>9.0</version>
</dependency>

customHeaders.put("iat", Instant.now().getEpochSecond());

JWEAlgorithm algo = JWEAlgorithm.RSA_OAEP_256;
EncryptionMethod encryptionMethod = EncryptionMethod.A256GCM;

}

Send the JWE as the body.
