'  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
