// 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 RSA public key to validate and recover the protected header and payload.

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

//      {"kty":"RSA", 
//       "n":"ofgWCuLjybRlzo0tZWJjNiuSfb4p4fAkd_wWJcyQoTbji9k0l8W26mPddx
