JSON Web Encryption (JWE) is an IETF standard providing a standardised syntax for the exchange of encrypted data, based on JSON and Base64. [1] It is defined by RFC 7516. Along with JSON Web Signature (JWS), it is one of the two possible formats of a JWT (JSON Web Token).
JSON Web Token (JWT, suggested pronunciation / dʒ ɒ t /, same as the word "jot" [1]) is a proposed Internet standard for creating data with optional signature and/or optional encryption whose payload holds JSON that asserts some number of claims. The tokens are signed either using a private secret or a public/private key.
For example, for encryption JSON Web Encryption (JWE) [4] is supposed to be used in conjunction. As of 2015, JWS was a proposed standard, and was part of several other IETF proposed standards, [ 5 ] and there was code available on the web to implement the proposed standard.
The Web Cryptography API is the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) recommendation for a low-level interface that would increase the security of web applications by allowing them to perform cryptographic functions without having to access raw keying material. [1]
In computer programming, Base64 is a group of binary-to-text encoding schemes that transforms binary data into a sequence of printable characters, limited to a set of 64 unique characters.
JSON has objects with a simple "key" to "value" mapping, whereas in XML addressing happens on "nodes", which all receive a unique ID via the XML processor.
