Validate a JWS Signature
See more JSON Web Signatures (JWS) Examples
Demonstrates Jws.Validate, which validates exactly one signature, identified by a zero-based index, using the key configured at that same index.
Background. Validate returns 1 when the signature or MAC is cryptographically valid, 0 when it is not, or a negative value on error. The verifying key must be provided before validating.
