Create JWT using a Brainpool EC Key

See more JSON Web Token (JWT) Examples

Demonstrates how to create a JWT using an EC private key. This is for JOSE headers having an "alg" member with any of the following values:

• BP160R1
• BP192R1
• BP224R1
• BP256R1
• BP320R1
• BP384R1
• BP512R1

This example also demonstrates how to include time constraints:

• nbf: Not Before Time
• exp: Expiration Time
• iat: Issue At Time
