Sign a JWS with a Certificate

See more JSON Web Signatures (JWS) Examples

Demonstrates Jws.SetSigningCert, which sets the certificate whose associated private key is used to create a signature.

The file path is relative to the application's current working directory. An absolute path may also be used. Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.
