Java Requires Chilkat v10.1.2+

Sign a File to Create a .p7m File (using a PFX)

See more Encryption Examples

_LANGUAGE_ example to sign a file creating a .p7m file as output. The .p7m contains the signed contents of the original file. It can be verified and restored by calling VerifyP7M. Chilkat2 Java
