@Immutable
public final class EncryptionMethod
extends Algorithm

Encryption method name, represents the enc header parameter in JSON Web Encryption (JWE) objects. This class is immutable.

Includes constants for the following standard encryption method names:

• A128CBC+HS256
• A256CBC+HS512
• A128GCM
• A256GCM

Additional encryption method names can be defined using the constructors.
