Set a Per-Recipient JWE Header

See more JSON Web Encryption (JWE) Examples

Demonstrates Jwe.SetRecipientHeader, which sets the per-recipient unprotected header for a recipient index.

//  The 256-bit key-wrapping key (base64) for recipient index 0.  In production, obtain the key from a
//  secure source rather than hard-coding it.
