# This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# This example takes a JSON signature in compact serialization format,
# and uses an RSA public key to validate and recover the protected header and payload.

# We only need a public key for signature validation.  This is the RSA public key
# that is used:

#      {"kty":"RSA",
#       "n":"ofgWCuLjybRlzo0tZWJjNiuSfb4p4fAkd_wWJcyQoTbji9k0l8W26mPddx
