(Chilkat2-Python) Validate a JWS Using ECDSA P-256 SHA-256

Validates a JSON Web Signature (JWS) that uses ECDSA P-256 SHA-256

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

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

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

# This example takes a JSON signature in compact serialization format,
# and uses an ECDSA public key to validate and recover the protected header and payload.

# We only need a public key for signature validation.  This is the ECDSA public key
# that is used:

#      {"kty":"EC", 
#       "crv":"P-256", 
#       "x":"f83OJ3D2xF1Bg8vub9tLe1gHMzV76e8Tus9uPHvRVEU", 
#       "y":"x_FEzRu9m36HLN_tue659LNpXW6pCyStikYjKIWI5a0" 
#      }
