Validate JWS Using RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 SHA-256

See more JSON Web Signatures (JWS) Examples

Validates a JSON Web Signature (JWS) that uses RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 SHA-256. Visual Basic 6.0

Dim success As Long
success = 0

' 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 RSA public key to validate and recover the protected header and payload.

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

'      {"kty":"RSA", 
'       "n":"ofgWCuLjybRlzo0tZWJjNiuSfb4p4fAkd_wWJcyQoTbji9k0l8W26mPddx
