JSON Web Encryption (JWE) is an IETF standard providing a standardised syntax for the exchange of encrypted data, based on JSON and Base64. [1] It is defined by RFC 7516. Along with JSON Web Signature (JWS), it is one of the two possible formats of a JWT (JSON Web Token).
JSON Web Token (JWT, suggested pronunciation / dʒ ɒ t /, same as the word "jot" [1]) is a proposed Internet standard for creating data with optional signature and/or optional encryption whose payload holds JSON that asserts some number of claims. The tokens are signed either using a private secret or a public/private key.
For example, for encryption JSON Web Encryption (JWE) [4] is supposed to be used in conjunction. As of 2015, JWS was a proposed standard, and was part of several other IETF proposed standards, [ 5 ] and there was code available on the web to implement the proposed standard.
The Web Cryptography API is the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) recommendation for a low-level interface that would increase the security of web applications by allowing them to perform cryptographic functions without having to access raw keying material. [1]
Encryption scrambles and unscrambles your data to keep it protected. • A public key scrambles the data. • A private key unscrambles the data. Credit card security. When you make a purchase on AOL, we'll only finish the transaction if your browser supports SSL.
Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) is a binary data serialization format loosely based on JSON authored by Carsten Bormann and Paul Hoffman. [a] Like JSON it allows the transmission of data objects that contain name–value pairs, but in a more concise manner.
[1] [2] It was designed by the Internet Security Research Group (ISRG) for their Let's Encrypt service. [1] The protocol, based on passing JSON-formatted messages over HTTPS, [2] [3] has been published as an Internet Standard in RFC 8555 [4] by its own chartered IETF working group. [5]
DNS over HTTPS (DoH) is a protocol for performing remote Domain Name System (DNS) resolution via the HTTPS protocol. A goal of the method is to increase user privacy and security by preventing eavesdropping and manipulation of DNS data by man-in-the-middle attacks [1] by using the HTTPS protocol to encrypt the data between the DoH client and the DoH-based DNS resolver.
