Get a JWS Unprotected Header

See more JSON Web Signatures (JWS) Examples

Demonstrates Jws.GetUnprotectedH, which copies the optional unprotected header of a signature into a JsonObject.

Background. The unprotected header is present only in JSON serialization forms that carry one. It is not covered by the signature.
