Call Signature

ā–ø jwtDecrypt<PayloadType>(jwt, key, options?): Promise<JWTDecryptResult<PayloadType>>

Verifies the JWT format (to be a JWE Compact format), decrypts the ciphertext, validates the JWT Claims Set.

This function is exported (as a named export) from the main 'jose' module entry point as well as from its subpath export 'jose/jwt/decrypt'.

Type Parameters

Type ParameterDefault type
PayloadTypeJWTPayload

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
jwtstring | Uint8ArrayJSON Web Token value (encoded as JWE).
keyKeyInputPrivate Key or Secret to decrypt and verify the JWT with. See Algorithm Key Requirements.
options?JWTDecryptOptionsJWT Decryption and JWT Claims Set validation options.

Returns

Promise<JWTDecryptResult<PayloadType>>

Example

js
const secret = jose.base64url.decode('zH4NRP1HMALxxCFnRZABFA7GOJtzU_gIj02alfL1lvI')
const jwt =
  'eyJhbGciOiJkaXIiLCJlbmMiOiJBMTI4Q0JDLUhTMjU2In0..MB66qstZBPxAXKdsjet_lA.WHbtJTl4taHp7otOHLq3hBvv0yNPsPEKHYInmCPdDDeyV1kU-f-tGEiU4FxlSqkqAT2hVs8_wMNiQFAzPU1PUgIqWCPsBrPP3TtxYsrtwagpn4SvCsUsx0Mhw9ZhliAO8CLmCBQkqr_T9AcYsz5uZw.7nX9m7BGUu_u1p1qFHzyIg'

const { payload, protectedHeader } = await jose.jwtDecrypt(jwt, secret, {
  issuer: 'urn:example:issuer',
  audience: 'urn:example:audience',
})

console.log(protectedHeader)
console.log(payload)

Call Signature

ā–ø jwtDecrypt<PayloadType, KeyType>(jwt, getKey, options?): Promise<JWTDecryptResult<PayloadType> & ResolvedKey<KeyType>>

Decrypts a JWT and validates its JWT Claims Set, resolving the key dynamically. The result additionally carries the resolved key.

Type Parameters

Type ParameterDefault type
PayloadTypeJWTPayload
KeyType extends Uint8Array | CryptoKeyUint8Array | CryptoKey

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
jwtstring | Uint8ArrayJSON Web Token value (encoded as JWE).
getKeyJWTDecryptGetKey<KeyType>Function resolving Private Key or Secret to decrypt and verify the JWT with. See Algorithm Key Requirements.
options?JWTDecryptOptionsJWT Decryption and JWT Claims Set validation options.

Returns

Promise<JWTDecryptResult<PayloadType> & ResolvedKey<KeyType>>

Call Signature

ā–ø jwtDecrypt<PayloadType>(jwt, key, options?): Promise<JWTDecryptResult<PayloadType> & Partial<ResolvedKey<Uint8Array | CryptoKey>>>

Accepts either form of the key argument. Use this overload when forwarding a value that may be either a key or a key resolution function; key is present on the result only when a resolution function was used.

Type Parameters

Type ParameterDefault type
PayloadTypeJWTPayload

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
jwtstring | Uint8ArrayJSON Web Token value (encoded as JWE).
keyKeyInput | JWTDecryptGetKey<Uint8Array | CryptoKey>Private Key or Secret, or a function resolving one, to decrypt and verify the JWT with. See Algorithm Key Requirements.
options?JWTDecryptOptionsJWT Decryption and JWT Claims Set validation options.

Returns

Promise<JWTDecryptResult<PayloadType> & Partial<ResolvedKey<Uint8Array | CryptoKey>>>
