bool success;

// First build a JWK sample to load..
Chilkat.JsonObject json = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
json.UpdateString("kty","EC");
json.UpdateString("crv","P-256");
json.UpdateString("x","oBUyo8CQAFPeYPvv78ylh5MwFZjTCLQeb042TjiMJxE");
json.UpdateString("y","vvQyxZkUjJQUPU_0bCy3Pj5qQdfu8jwEfqEeYGZ95CU");
json.UpdateString("d","EbVzfPnZPxfAyxqEZV05laAoJAl-_6Xt2O4mOB611sM");

// The JSON contains the following:
// { 
//   "kty": "EC",
//   "crv": "P-256",
//   "x": "oBUyo8CQAFPeYPvv78ylh5MwFZjTCLQeb042TjiMJxE",
//   "y": "vvQyxZkUjJQUPU_0bCy3Pj5qQdfu8jwEfqEeYGZ95CU",
//   "d": "EbVzfPnZPxfAyxqEZV05laAoJAl-_6Xt2O4mOB611sM"
// }

// Note: The JSON can contain other members, such as "use", "kid", or anything else.  These will be ignored.
json.EmitCompact = false;

// Show the JWK string to be loaded:
string jwkStr = json.Emit();

Chilkat.PrivateKey privKey = new Chilkat.PrivateKey();
success = privKey.LoadJwk(jwkStr);
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(privKey.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// OK.. the JWK is loaded.  It can be used in whatever way desired...

// The key can be retrieved in any other format, such as XML or PEM..
Debug.WriteLine(privKey.GetXml());

// XML output:
