Load and Validate a JWS from a StringBuilder

See more JSON Web Signatures (JWS) Examples

Demonstrates Jws.LoadJwsSb, which loads a JWS from a StringBuilder (here read from a file). The example then supplies the MAC key and validates the signature.

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.

Background. Validate returns 1 when the signature or MAC is cryptographically valid, 0 when it is not, or a negative value on error.
