JWE

JWE, or JSON Web Encryption, is a standardized way to securely transmit information over the internet by encrypting data into a compact, portable format. Think of it as a digital locked box: the data (payload) is encrypted so that only someone with the right key can open it. JWE ensures confidentiality by protecting sensitive information during transfer, often used in APIs and secure communications. It includes details about how the data is encrypted, making it possible for the recipient to decrypt and access the original content safely.
