Demonstrates how to hash an access token to compare it with the at_hash claim of an ID token. PowerShell

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

# This example uses a Google access_token + id_token that looks like this:

#  {
#   "access_token": "ya29.a0...0f",
#   "expires_in": 3599,
#   "scope": "openid https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email",
#   "token_type": "Bearer",
#   "id_token": "eyJhb...o5nQ"
# }

# Use Chilkat's JWT API to examine the id_token..

# The JOSE header looks like this:

# {
#   "alg": "RS256",
#   "kid": "e8799db06287515556213c80acbcfd022fb302a9",

# The at_hash is the Access Token hash value. Its value is the base64url encoding of the
# left-most half of the hash of the octets of the ASCII representation of the access_token value,
# where the hash algorithm used is the hash algorithm used in the alg Header Parameter of the
# ID Token's JOSE Header. For instance, if the alg is RS256, hash the access_token value with SHA-256,
# then take the left-most 128 bits and base64url encode them. The at_hash value is a case sensitive string.
