Create JWS using the Flattened JSON Serialization Format

See more JSON Web Signatures (JWS) Examples

Creates a JSON Web Signature (JWS) containing 1 signature and output using the flattened JSON serialization format.

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

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