;  This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
;  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

;  This example takes a JSON signature in compact serialization format,
;  and uses a MAC key to validate and recover the protected header and payload.

;  Set the HMAC key:

Local $iSignatureIndex = 0
$oJws.SetMacKey($iSignatureIndex,$sHmacKey,"base64url")

;  Load the JWS.
