(VBScript) JWE using AES Key Wrap and AES_128_CBC_HMAC_SHA_256

This example duplicates the example A.3 in RFC 7516 for JSON Web Encryption (JWE).

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

'      }
' This is just a way of saying: The key type ("kty") is 
' a bunch of octets ("k") in base64url encoding.
