I need to

  • encrypt JSON payload (not just sign)
  • not share private key
  • verify the payload is generated with the shared public key and RSA fitting all of these.

As I've only made auth with JWT so far, I'm not sure. If I use RSA, I guess I have to put the encrypted text in the body.

Do you think it can be used? Any other suggestions?

TIL that RSA allows maximum 245 character payload. But I guess that doesn't apply to JWE. Thanks for the suggestion, I'm researching ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿซก
