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

*  This example takes a JSON signature in compact serialization format,
*  and uses an ECDSA public key to validate and recover the protected header and payload.

*  We only need a public key for signature validation.  This is the ECDSA public key
*  that is used:

*       {"kty":"EC", 
*        "crv":"P-256", 
*        "x":"f83OJ3D2xF1Bg8vub9tLe1gHMzV76e8Tus9uPHvRVEU", 
*        "y":"x_FEzRu9m36HLN_tue659LNpXW6pCyStikYjKIWI5a0" 
*       }
