(MFC) Validate JWS Using RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 SHA-256

Validates a JSON Web Signature (JWS) that uses RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 SHA-256.

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

    // This example takes a JSON signature in compact serialization format,
    // and uses an RSA public key to validate and recover the protected header and payload.

    // We only need a public key for signature validation.  This is the RSA public key
    // that is used:
