JWE with Binary Data

See more JSON Web Encryption (JWE) Examples

Demonstrates how to create a JWE that contains a binary payload (such as a JPG image).

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.
