' Load a PEM file into memory.
set sbPem = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.StringBuilder")
success = sbPem.LoadFile("qa_data/pem/ecc_privKey.pem","utf-8")
If (success <> 1) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "Failed to load PEM file.") & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

' Load the PEM into a private key object.
set privKey = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.PrivateKey")
success = privKey.LoadPem(sbPem.GetAsString())
If (success <> 1) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( privKey.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

' Get the private key in JWK format:
jwk = privKey.GetJwk()

' The GetJwk method will return the JWK in the most compact JSON format possible,
' as a single line with no extra whitespace.  To get a more human-readable JWK (for this example),
' load into a Chilkat JSON object and emit non-compact:

set json = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.JsonObject")
success = json.Load(jwk)
json.EmitCompact = 0
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "ECC Private Key in JWK format:") & "</pre>"
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( json.Emit()) & "</pre>"

' Sample output:
' { 
'   "kty": "EC",
'   "crv": "P-256",
'   "x": "oBUyo8CQAFPeYPvv78ylh5MwFZjTCLQeb042TjiMJxE",
'   "y": "vvQyxZkUjJQUPU_0bCy3Pj5qQdfu8jwEfqEeYGZ95CU",
'   "d": "EbVzfPnZPxfAyxqEZV05laAoJAl-_6Xt2O4mOB611sM"
' }
' 

' Additional information can be added like this:
success = json.AppendString("use","enc")
success = json.AppendString("kid","123ABC")

' Now examine the JSON:
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( json.Emit()) & "</pre>"

' { 
'   "kty": "EC",
'   "crv": "P-256",
