    -- 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.)
