What is JWE?

JSON Web Encryption (JWE) is a means of encrypting JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) or other arbitrary content using JSON-based data structures. It's commonly used to protect sensitive data transmitted over the web by providing confidentiality. JWE utilizes cryptographic algorithms to encrypt the content and ensures that only authorized parties, possessing the correct decryption key, can access the information.
