Set JWE Additional Authenticated Data from BinData

See more JSON Web Encryption (JWE) Examples

Demonstrates Jwe.SetAadBd, which sets external Additional Authenticated Data (AAD) to the exact bytes held in a BinData.

Background. AAD is integrity-protected but not encrypted. Passing an empty BinData clears any previously configured AAD.
