(Xojo Plugin) Validate a JWS Using ECDSA P-521 SHA-512

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

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.

// 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", 
//       "x":"AekpBQ8ST8a8VcfVOTNl353vSrDCLLJXmPk06wTjxrrjcBpXp5EOnYG_NjFZ6OvLFV1jSfS9tsz4qUxcWceqwQGk", 
//       "y":"ADSmRA43Z1DSNx_RvcLI87cdL07l6jQyyBXMoxVg_l2Th-x3S1WDhjDly79ajL4Kkd0AZMaZmh9ubmf63e3kyMj2"
