JOSE-JWE-DEC(1) JOSE-JWE-DEC(1) NAME jose-jwe-dec - Decrypts a JWE using the supplied JWKs SYNOPSIS jose jwe dec -i JWE [-I CT] -k JWK [-p] [-O PT] OVERVIEW 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.
