(Go) JWE using RSAES-OAEP and AES GCM

This example duplicates the example A.1 in RFC 7516 for JSON Web Encryption (JWE).

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.66 or greater.

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

    // Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.66 or greater.

    // ---------------------------------
    // A.1.1 JOSE Header
    // First build the JWE Protected Header.
    // We want to build this: {"alg":"RSA-OAEP","enc":"A256GCM"}
    jweProtHdr := chilkat.NewJsonObject()

    // ---------------------------------
    // A.1.2 Content Encryption Key
    // Note: Chilkat automatically generates the random CEK internally.
    // The application does not need to explicitly take this step.

    // ---------------------------------
    // A.1.3.  Key Encryption
    // The application should load an RSA private key from any format.
    // However, the application does not need to explicitly construct the JWE Encrypted Key.
    // Chilkat automatically does it internally.
    // The design of the Chilkat JWE API is to allow the application to create the JWE
    // after specifying the inputs.  (This is in contrast to forcing the application developer
    // to painstakingly go through each step of the JWE construction process.)

    // The specific RSA key used in the A.1 example is the following JWK:
