Load and Validate a JWS from a String

See more JSON Web Signatures (JWS) Examples

Demonstrates Jws.LoadJws, which loads a JWS from its compact serialization string. The example then supplies the MAC key and validates the signature.

Background. Validate returns 1 when the signature or MAC is cryptographically valid, 0 when it is not, or a negative value on error. The key for the signer index must be provided before validating.
