Create JWT Using ECC (ES256, ES384, or ES512)

See more JSON Web Token (JWT) Examples

Demonstrates how to create a JWT using an ECC private key. This is for JOSE headers with an "alg" of ES256, ES384, or ES512. When ECC is used, the private key signs (creates) the JWT, and the public key is for verification.

This example also demonstrates how to include time constraints:

• nbf: Not Before Time
• exp: Expiration Time
• iat: Issue At Time
