# 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 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:

#       "crv":"P-521", 
#       "x":"AekpBQ8ST8a8VcfVOTNl353vSrDCLLJXmPk06wTjxrrjcBpXp5EOnYG_NjFZ6OvLFV1jSfS9tsz4qUxcWceqwQGk",
