@Immutable
public final class JWEAlgorithm
extends Algorithm

JSON Web Encryption (JWE) algorithm name, represents the alg header parameter in JWE objects. This class is immutable.

Includes constants for the following standard JWE algorithm names:

• RSA1_5
• RSA-OAEP
• A128KW
• A256KW
• dir
• ECDH-ES
• ESDH-ES+A128KW
• ESDH-ES+A256KW

Additional JWE algorithm names can be defined using the constructors.
