*  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

IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
