Documentation on use of Public/Private Keys

See original GitHub issue

Any docs or even links to relevent tests on using Public/Private Keys would be useful.

I have seen and read : https://github.com/jwtk/jjwt/issues/25 but could not figure out how to actually use the keypair.

I’m attempting to do what I think should be the obvious thing but receive

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: MAC signatures must be computed and verified using a SecretKey.  The specified key of type sun.security.rsa.RSAPrivateCrtKeyImpl is not a SecretKey.

Even with the example of @lhazlewood I got the IllegalArgumentException described above: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: MAC signatures must be computed and verified using a SecretKey. The specified key of type sun.security.rsa.RSAPrivateCrtKeyImpl is not a SecretKey. The problem was that the algorithm did not match.

Changing to SignatureAlgorithm signatureAlgorithm = SignatureAlgorithm.RS256; fixed it.

Closing this as per the 0.10.0 release, signatures with both Secret and Public/Private keypairs are documented in the Readme.
