Overview
jose_plus is a Flutter/Dart package providing comprehensive support for JavaScript Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE) standards. It enables secure handling of JWE (Encryption), JWS (Signing), JWK (Key Management), and JWT (Tokens). Ideal for applications requiring robust authentication, authorization, and data integrity across multiple platforms, it simplifies secure communication in modern web and mobile apps. The library is actively maintained and compatible with Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux.
