encrypt

JWECryptoParts encrypt(JWEHeader header,
                     byte[] clearText)
                       throws JOSEException

Encrypts the specified clear text of a JWE object.

Parameters:

header - The JSON Web Encryption (JWE) header. Must specify a supported JWE algorithm and must not be null.

clearText - The clear text to encrypt. Must not be null.

Returns:

The resulting JWE crypto parts.

Throws:
