JOSE-JWK-EXC(1) JOSE-JWK-EXC(1)
NAME
jose-jwk-exc - Performs a key exchange using the two input keys
SYNOPSIS
jose jwk exc [-i JWK] -l JWK -r JWK [-o JWK]
OVERVIEW
The jose jwk exc command performs a key exchange using the two input
keys and provides the result of the exchange as output. The user can
specify a JWK template as input and the specified properties will
appear in the output JWK unmodified.
A key exchange requires two keys:
1. The local key, which usually contains private key material.
2. The remote key, which usually contains public key material.
The algorithm for the exchange is inferred from the inputs.
The ECDH algorithm performs a standard elliptic curve multiplication
such that the public value of \p rem is multiplied by the private value
of \p.
The ECMR algorithm has three modes of operation. Where the local key
has a private key (the "d" property), it performs exactly like ECDH. If
the local key does not have a private key and the remote key does have
a private key, elliptic curve addition is performed on the two values.
Otherwise, if neither the local key nor the remote key have a private
key, the remote key is subtracted from the local key using elliptic
curve subtraction. When using ECMR, be sure to validate the content of
your inputs to avoid triggering the incorrect operation!
