Create a JWS into a StringBuilder
See more JSON Web Signatures (JWS) Examples
Demonstrates Jws.CreateJwsSb, which creates a JWS and writes it into a StringBuilder.
Background. JWS (JSON Web Signature) integrity-protects a payload with a signature or MAC. The header
alg names the algorithm; this example uses HMAC-SHA256 (HS256) with a symmetric MAC key.Chilkat C Downloads
