(Delphi ActiveX) JWE using RSAES-OAEP and AES GCM

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

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.66 or greater.

// A.1.2 Content Encryption Key
// Note: Chilkat automatically generates the random CEK internally.

// 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:
