It looks like the Joken lib is only able to sign and verify JWS tokens. I can see that it uses erlang-jose underneath for that. If I need to create JWEs, however, why wouldn’t I just use the latter library for both signing and encryption? I can’t find any examples of encrypting with erlang-jose a JWS created with Joken. I’m know my ignorance in such things is leaking out here but any guidance would be appreciated.
Yeah that’s the same library that Joken is using under the hood. I just refereced it as “erlang-jose” b/c that’s the name at GH. Your point stands though. I’m wondering if for JWE generation it’s just best to use JOSE for all things JWT. Signing is not much more complicated - if at all - than using the Joken lib.
