Implementing JSON Web Encryption in Node.js

Question

I'm looking for a way to use JSON Web Encryption (JWE) in a Node.js service. I have however only managed to find implementations of the related standard JWS . There are however several libraries for other languages, such as jose4j .

Did anyone successfully implement JWE in Javascript? I'm afraid I'm gonna gave to resort to implementing the spec myself using lower level primitives. Is there a better approach?

Answer 1

Here is a library that can be used from Node.js also https://github.com/cisco/node-jose . They have also a very good documentation on how to use it.

Answer 2

There is a library js-jose https://github.com/square/js-jose . But it works only for Chrome. It does not work for Internet Explorer nor for FireFox.
