(C#) Compute JWK Thumbprint for RSA and EC Public Keys

Demonstrates how to compute a JSON Web Key thumbprint for a public key (RSA or ECC).

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

Chilkat .NET Downloads Chilkat .NET Framework Chilkat for .NET Core

Chilkat.PublicKey pubKey = new Chilkat.PublicKey();

// A public key can be loaded from any format (binary DER, PEM, etc.)
// This example will load the public keys from JWK format, 
// and will then compute the JWK thumbprint.

// First do it for an RSA public key...

Chilkat.StringBuilder sb = new Chilkat.StringBuilder();
sb.Append("{");
