swarmauri_crypto_jwe 0.3.0.dev4

RFC 7516/7518 compliant JWE crypto provider for Swarmauri

---

Swarmauri Crypto JWE

JSON Web Encryption (JWE) provider implementing RFC 7516 and RFC 7518 compliant encryption and decryption helpers.

Features

• Asynchronous API for compact JWE serialization returning strings.
• Accepts JWAAlg enums from swarmauri_core.crypto.types for algorithms.
• Supports dir, RSA-OAEP, RSA-OAEP-256, and ECDH-ES key management algorithms.
• Supports A128GCM, A192GCM, and A256GCM content encryption.
• Optional compression (zip = DEF) and Additional Authenticated Data (AAD).
• Returns structured decrypt results that include both the protected header and plaintext.
• Registers with the Swarmauri PluginManager via the swarmauri.cryptos entry point.

Installation

pip install swarmauri_crypto_jwe
# or
poetry add swarmauri_crypto_jwe
# or, with uv
uv add swarmauri_crypto_jwe

[!TIP] uv can be installed with pip install uv or by following the instructions at astral.sh/uv. Once installed, run uv add swarmauri_crypto_jwe from your project directory to add the dependency.

Usage

The helpers are asynchronous and return compact JWE strings that can be decrypted back into their original plaintext. A typical flow is:

1. Generate or load the key material for the chosen algorithm.
2. Instantiate JweCrypto.
3. Call encrypt_compact with the payload, algorithm, and key details.
4. Call decrypt_compact with the resulting JWE and the corresponding private key.

import asyncio
from cryptography.hazmat.primitives import serialization
from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric import rsa
from swarmauri_core.crypto.types import JWAAlg
from swarmauri_crypto_jwe import JweCrypto


async def main() -> None:
    crypto = JweCrypto()

    sk = rsa.generate_private_key(public_exponent=65537, key_size=2048)
    pk_pem = sk.public_key().public_bytes(
        encoding=serialization.Encoding.PEM,
        format=serialization.PublicFormat.SubjectPublicKeyInfo,
    )

    jwe = await crypto.encrypt_compact(
        payload=b"secret",
        alg=JWAAlg.RSA_OAEP_256,
        enc=JWAAlg.A256GCM,
        key={"pub": pk_pem},
    )

    result = await crypto.decrypt_compact(
        jwe,
        rsa_private_pem=sk.private_bytes(
            encoding=serialization.Encoding.PEM,
            format=serialization.PrivateFormat.PKCS8,
            encryption_algorithm=serialization.NoEncryption(),
        ),
    )
    assert result.plaintext == b"secret"


asyncio.run(main())

Loading via PluginManager

from swarmauri.plugin import PluginManager

pm = PluginManager()
crypto = pm.load("swarmauri.cryptos", "JweCrypto")

Parameters

• alg – JWAAlg member describing the key management algorithm (JWAAlg.RSA_OAEP_256, JWAAlg.DIR, etc.).
• enc – JWAAlg member describing the content encryption algorithm (JWAAlg.A256GCM, JWAAlg.A128GCM, etc.).
• key – mapping containing the key material used for encryption:
  • {"k": bytes} for direct symmetric keys (dir).
  • {"pub": rsa_public_key} for RSA OAEP, where the public key may be PEM bytes or an RSAPublicKey instance.
  • {"pub": ec_public_key} for ECDH-ES with PEM, JWK, or key objects.
• Optional header_extra values are merged into the protected header (use zip="DEF" to enable compression).
• Decryption requires the matching private key via dir_key, rsa_private_pem/rsa_private_password, or ecdh_private_key.
• expected_algs and expected_encs constrain acceptable algorithms during decryption, and aad must match the authenticated data provided at encryption time.

Entry point

The provider is registered under the swarmauri.cryptos entry point as JweCrypto.
