Create JWT using Smart Card

See more JSON Web Token (JWT) Examples

Demonstrates how to create a JWT using an RSA private key and certificate on a smart card. This is for JOSE headers with an "alg" of RS256, RS384, or RS512. When RSA is used, the private key signs (creates) the JWT, and the public key is for verification.

This example also demonstrates how to include time constraints:

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

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.99 or later.
