function Get-JsonWebTokenSignature
{
<#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Gets the JSON Web Token signature from the passed JWT.
    ..DESCRIPTION
        Deserializes a JSON Web Token payload to a byte array by default. Optionally the original base 64 URL encoded signature can be returned via the AsEncodedString parameter.
    .PARAMETER JsonWebToken
        Specifies the The JSON Web Token to get the signature from.
    .PARAMETER AsEncodedString
        Returns the signature as a base 64 URL encoded string as opposed to the decoded value as a byte array.
    .EXAMPLE
        $jwt = "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiIxMjM0NTY3ODkwIiwibmFtZSI6IkpvaG4gRG9lIiwiYWRtaW4iOnRydWV9.VG6H-orYnMLknmJajHx1HW9SftqCWeqE3TQ1UArx3Mk"
        Get-JsonWebTokenSignature -JsonWebToken $jwt
 
        Returns the signature from the passed JWT as a byte array.
    .EXAMPLE
        $jwt = "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiIxMjM0NTY3ODkwIiwibmFtZSI6IkpvaG4gRG9lIiwiYWRtaW4iOnRydWV9.VG6H-orYnMLknmJajHx1HW9SftqCWeqE3TQ1UArx3Mk"
        Get-JsonWebTokenSignature -JsonWebToken $jwt -AsEncodedString
 
        Returns the encoded signature from the passed JWT.
    .INPUTS
