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.

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

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

# The JWS to be created will contain one signature using an ECDSA key.
