lnSuccess = 0

* This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
* See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

* Load the certificate from a smart card.
loCert = CreateObject('Chilkat.Cert')

* Set the smarcard PIN prior to loading
loCert.SmartCardPin = "123456"

* Detect the connected smartcard or USB security token and load the default certificate.
lnSuccess = loCert.LoadFromSmartcard("")
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loCert.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loCert
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Note: Chilkat provides many different ways to load a certificate from a smartcard or USB token,
* such as selecting a certificate if the card contains multiple certificates with private keys,
* or working with lower-level PKCS11 or ScMinidriver API's (both of which Chilkat provides).

* Create the JWS Protected Header
loJwsProtHdr = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')

IF (loCert.IsEcdsa() = 1) THEN
    loJwsProtHdr.AppendString("alg","ES256")
ELSE
    loJwsProtHdr.AppendString("alg","RS256")
ENDIF

loJws = CreateObject('Chilkat.Jws')

* Set the protected header:
lnSignatureIndex = 0
loJws.SetProtectedHeader(lnSignatureIndex,loJwsProtHdr)

* Provide the private key via the certificate.
* This requires Chilkat v11.5.0 or greater.
loJws.SetSigningCert(lnSignatureIndex,loCert)

* Set the payload.
lnBIncludeBom = 0
lcPayloadStr = "In our village, folks say God crumbles up the old moon into stars."
loJws.SetPayload(lcPayloadStr,"utf-8",lnBIncludeBom)

* Create the JWS
* By default, the compact serialization is used.
lcJwsCompact = loJws.CreateJws()
IF (loJws.LastMethodSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loJws.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loCert
    RELEASE loJwsProtHdr
    RELEASE loJws
    CANCEL
ENDIF

? "JWS: " + lcJwsCompact

* Now load the JWS, validate, and recover the original text.
loJws2 = CreateObject('Chilkat.Jws')

* Load the JWS.

* Set the public key used for validation.
lnSignatureIndex = 0

* Validate the 1st (and only) signature at index 0..
v = loJws2.Validate(lnSignatureIndex)
IF (v < 0) THEN
    * Perhaps Chilkat was not unlocked or the trial expired..

* Recover the original content:

* Examine the protected header:

lnSuccess = loJws2.GetProtectedH(lnSignatureIndex,loJoseHeader)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loJws2.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loCert
    RELEASE loJwsProtHdr
    RELEASE loJws
    RELEASE loJws2
    RELEASE loPubKey
    RELEASE loJoseHeader
    CANCEL
ENDIF

? "Protected (JOSE) header:"
? loJoseHeader.Emit()

* Output:
