JSON Web Encryption (JWE)

JSON Web Encryption (JWE) is a standard for securely transmitting data in a compact format. It allows sensitive information, like passwords or personal data, to be encrypted, meaning it’s transformed into a code that only authorized parties can read. JWE packages this encrypted data in a structured way using JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), making it easy to handle and transmit over various web applications. It helps ensure confidentiality, allowing users to share information safely over the internet, preventing unauthorized access.
