Hi All,

ES6 serialization made the concept clear-text signed JavaScript/JSON objects trivial to implement.
Well, V8 is actually needed for full compliance.

It was not equally clear (to me at least...) how ES6 serialization could be used in encryption schemes.
After looking into this a bit more, the protected (=unreadable) header in JWE was an obvious candidate.

The result is here:
