Update snippet 'Verify Azure-ACS issued OAuth Simple Web Token'

Title

Description

Source code

module OAuthVerify
//verifies the OAuth SWT (simple web token) issued by Azure ACS
//The SWT may be obtained by many methods; one way is:
// - "How to: Request a Token from ACS via the OAuth WRAP Protocol"
//   (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/hh674475.aspx)
//(Note I used the userid/password method to obtain the token on behalf of a 'service identity' set up in ACS)
//The token is normally verifed by a 'relying party' such as an ASP.Net website hosting a Web API
//General ACS documentation is here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg429788.aspx
open System
open System.Web
open System.Text
open System.Security.Cryptography

//the shared symmetric key for the Relying Party that is setup in Azure ACS. 
//ACS signs the token with this key
