    //  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 RSA public key to validate and recover the protected header and payload.

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

    //       {"kty":"RSA", 
    //        "n":"ofgWCuLjybRlzo0tZWJjNiuSfb4p4fAkd_wWJcyQoTbji9k0l8W26mPddx
