// This example creates the following JWK Set from two certificates:

// {
//   "keys": [
//     {
//       "kty": "RSA",
//       "use": "sig",
//       "kid": "BB8CeFVqyaGrGNuehJIiL4dfjzw",
//       "x5t": "BB8CeFVqyaGrGNuehJIiL4dfjzw",
//       "n": "nYf1jpn7cFdQ...9Iw",
//       "e": "AQAB",
//       "x5c": [
//         "MIIDBTCCAe2...Z+NTZo"
//       ]
//     },
//     {
//       "kty": "RSA",
//       "use": "sig",
//       "kid": "M6pX7RHoraLsprfJeRCjSxuURhc",
//       "x5t": "M6pX7RHoraLsprfJeRCjSxuURhc",
//       "n": "xHScZMPo8F...EO4QQ",
//       "e": "AQAB",
//       "x5c": [
//         "MIIC8TCCAdmgA...Vt5432GA=="
//       ]
//     }
//   ]
// }

// First get two certificates from files.
