Set the Shared JWE Unprotected Header

See more JSON Web Encryption (JWE) Examples

Demonstrates Jwe.SetUnprotectedHeader, which sets the shared JWE unprotected header from a JsonObject.

Background. The unprotected header is shared by all recipients but, unlike the protected header, is not integrity-protected. It is carried in the JSON serialization forms of a JWE.
