Get a JWS Protected Header

See more JSON Web Signatures (JWS) Examples

Demonstrates Jws.GetProtectedH, which copies the decoded protected header of a signature into a JsonObject.

Background. The protected header is integrity-protected by the signature. Inspecting it (for example the alg value) is useful before deciding how to validate.
