JWE Loading
Encrypted tokens are loaded by a serializer or the serializer manager and decrypted by the JWEDecrypter object. This JWEDecrypter object requires several services for the process:
an algorithm manager with key encryption algorithms
an algorithm manager with content encryption algorithms
a compression method manager. No compression method is needed if you do not intent to compress the payload.
In the following example, we will use the same assumptions as the ones used during the JWE Creation process.

    $compressionMethodManager

Now we can try to deserialize and decrypt the input we receive. We will continue with the result we got during the JWE creation section.
We do not check header parameters here, but it is very important to do it. This step is described in the Header Checker section.

OK so if not exception is thrown, then your token is loaded and the payload correctly decrypted.
JWELoader Object
To avoid duplication of code lines, you can create a JWELoader object. This object contains a serializer, a decrypter and an optional header checker (highly recommended).
In the following example, the JWELoader object will try to unserialize the token $token, check the header parameters and decrypt with the key $key.
If the decryption succeeded, the variable $recipient will be set with the recipient index and should be in case of multiple recipients. The method returns the JWE object.

<?php

use Jose\Component\Encryption\JWELoader;

​
5
$jweLoader = new JWELoader(
6
    $serializerManager,
7
    $jweDecrypter,
8
    $headerCheckerManager
9
);
10
​
11
$jwe = $jweLoader->loadAndDecryptWithKey($token, $key, $recipient);
Copied!
In case you use a key set, you can use the method loadAndDecryptWithKeySet.
JWELoaderFactory Object
This feature was introduced in version 1.1.
The JWELoaderFactory object is able to create JWELoader objects on demand. It requires the following factories:
JWESerializerManagerFactory
JWEDecrypterFactory
HeaderCheckerManagerFactory (optional)

<?php

use Jose\Component\Encryption\JWELoaderFactory;

$jweLoaderFactory = new JWELoaderFactory(

    $jweSerializerManagerFactory,
7
    $jweDecrypterFactory,
8
    $headerCheckerManagerFactory
9
);
10
​

$jweLoader = $jweLoaderFactory->create(
12
    ['jwe_compact'], // List of serializer aliases
13
    ['A128KW'],      // List of key encryption algorithm aliases
14
    ['A128KW'],      // List of content encryption algorithm aliases
15
    ['DEF'],         // List of compression method aliases
16
    ['alg', 'enc']   // Optional list of header checker aliases
