//  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
