Compute JWK Thumbprint for RSA and EC Public Keys

See more ECC Examples

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.

# 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...
