// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// We have the following to decrypt:

// Key (Base64): 
string keyBase64 = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";

// IV (Base64Url):
string ivBase64Url = "xrvaINMLqotAbWRK";

// ciphertext (base64url):
string cipherBase64Url = "RtGNAS-zQOxSB8W0HfqJjCoyt9KgImW_l-HjVC40hOOl-RNfRF3hzDIT1kvFVF8i_KX9XmqAftb6lyq-jLCEc_MSgqt3q1ixv3Ez4SbS3G5e3qGzLwxIMi2sCt00aDNwK2ipsJ4aw8s7ePPnl4oY-y1st9rwCWR0rrgEZwS9jmS4uJWGPn9K3jbKRnMslznDbtFLNJctMVXBTP-cv47JelxLCBOQSlK29rMuEFrhHR_VQrPq6gtZaBVSXZSYT0XOklp7nu9mVhrMCRtBCC5oiu5MPE5JYx4ANo3hUY7_NyQl2bpn9GfRXrdvqRGE-gy2upj-cDkm0t_tV8xmYge9DBQTH3B_4BGl2qTk_o-m7pEmKkS8XSdQhGcuFlykqrkE8SzB5I8esfzWOM0pwxbz0H_VaylKYHY=";
