Sign a JWS with an HMAC Key

See more JSON Web Signatures (JWS) Examples

Demonstrates Jws.SetMacKey, which sets the symmetric MAC key for a signature. The key bytes are supplied in a named encoding such as hex or base64.

Background. HMAC-based JWS (for example HS256) authenticates the payload with a shared symmetric key that both signer and verifier possess.
