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.

Background. Per-recipient headers carry recipient-specific values such as a key id (kid), and are used with the JSON serialization forms that support multiple recipients.
