(Chilkat2-Python) Verify JWT Using an RSA Public Key (RS256, RS384, RS512)

Demonstrates how to verify a JWT that was signed using an RSA private key.

This example verifies the RSA signature. It also does the following:

• Checks to see if the time constraints ("nbf" and "exp") are valid.
• Recovers the original JOSE header.
• Recovers the original claims JSON.

# If the current system time is before the "nbf" time, or after the "exp" time,
# then IsTimeValid will return false/0.

# We can recover the original JOSE header in the same way:
