    // The application should load an RSA private key from any format.
    // However, the application does not need to explicitly construct the JWE Encrypted Key.
    // Chilkat automatically does it internally.
    // The design of the Chilkat JWE API is to allow the application to create the JWE
    // after specifying the inputs.  (This is in contrast to forcing the application developer
    // to painstakingly go through each step of the JWE construction process.)

    // The specific RSA key used in the A.1 example is the following JWK:
