(Go) JWE using ECDH-ES, BP-256, A256GCM

See more JSON Web Encryption (JWE) Examples

Create a JWE with the following header:

	{
	  "alg": "ECDH-ES",
	  "enc": "A256GCM",
	  "exp": 1621957030,
	  "cty": "NJWT",
	  "epk": {
	    "kty": "EC",
	    "x": "QLpJ_LpFx-6yJhsb4OvHwU1khLnviiOwYOvmf5clK7w"
	    "y": "AJh7pJ3zZKDJkm8rbeG69GBooTosXJgSsvNFH0i3Vxnu"
	    "crv": "BP-256"
	  }
	}

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.87 or greater.
