JWE using RSAES-OAEP and AES GCM

This example duplicates the example A.1 in RFC 7516 for JSON Web Encryption (JWE). Delphi ActiveX

uses
    Winapi.Windows, Winapi.Messages, System.SysUtils, System.Variants, System.Classes, Vcl.Graphics,
    Vcl.Controls, Vcl.Forms, Vcl.Dialogs, Vcl.StdCtrls, Chilkat_TLB;

// ---------------------------------
// A.1.2 Content Encryption Key
// Note: Chilkat automatically generates the random CEK internally.
// The application does not need to explicitly take this step.

// ---------------------------------
// A.1.3.  Key Encryption
// 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:
