!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] ([JWE]) is a means of representing encrypted content using [JavaScript Object Notation] ([JSON]) data structures. 

[Cryptographic] [algorithms] and identifiers for use with this specification are described in the separate [JSON Web Algorithms] ([JWA]) specification.

Related [Digital Signature] and [MAC] capabilities are described in the separate [JSON Web Signature] ([JWS]) specification.

[{$pagename}] is defined in [RFC 7516]

[{$pagename}] is used for [encryption] of [JSON Web Tokens] 

!! Header Values

! [enc] ([encryption] [algorithm])
The enc (encryption algorithm) Header Parameter identifies the content encryption algorithm used to perform authenticated [encryption] on the [Plaintext|message] to produce the [Ciphertext] and the Authentication Tag. This algorithm MUST be an [AEAD] algorithm with a specified key length. The encrypted content is not usable if the enc value does not represent a supported algorithm. enc values should either be registered in the IANA JSON Web Signature and Encryption Algorithms registry defined in [JWA] or be a value that contains a Collision-Resistant Name.
