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

Demonstrates how to compute a JSON Web Key thumbprint for a private 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.PrivateKey privKey = new Chilkat.PrivateKey();

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

// First do it for this RSA private key...
