Swift Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Validate a JWS Using ECDSA P-521 SHA-512

Validates a JSON Web Signature (JWS) that uses ECDSA P-521 SHA-512 Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

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

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

    //       {"kty":"EC", 
    //        "crv":"P-521",
