(MFC) JWE using RSAES-OAEP and AES GCM

This example duplicates the example A.1 in RFC 7516 for JSON Web Encryption (JWE).

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.66 or greater.

    // ---------------------------------

    // A.1.3.  Key Encryption
    // The application should load an RSA private key from any format.
    // However, the application does not need to explicitly construct the JWE Encrypted Key.
    // Chilkat automatically does it internally.
    // The design of the Chilkat JWE API is to allow the application to create the JWE
    // after specifying the inputs.  (This is in contrast to forcing the application developer
    // to painstakingly go through each step of the JWE construction process.)
