Encrypt a JWE with a Recipient Public Key

See more JSON Web Encryption (JWE) Examples

Demonstrates Jwe.SetPublicKey, which sets the public key used to encrypt for a recipient. The example uses RSA-OAEP-256 key management with AES-256-GCM content encryption.

The file path is relative to the application's current working directory. An absolute path may also be used. Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.
