Lua Requires Chilkat v10.0.0+

Code Signing using Sectigo USB Token

See more Code Signing Examples

Demonstrates how to Authenticode sign an EXE or DLL using a SafeNet USB token from Sectigo. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

-- This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
-- See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

-- First create the following JSON to specify that SHA256 is to be used,
-- and provide timestamp server information.

-- {
--   "hashAlg": "sha256",
--   "timestampToken": {
--     "enabled": true,
--     "tsaUrl": "http://timestamp.digicert.com",
--     "requestTsaCert": true,
--     "hashAlg": "sha256"
--   }
-- }

local json = chilkat.JsonObject.new()
json:update_string("hashAlg", "sha256")
json:update_bool("timestampToken.enabled", true)
json:update_string("timestampToken.tsaUrl", "http://timestamp.digicert.com")
json:update_bool("timestampToken.requestTsaCert", true)
json:update_string("timestampToken.hashAlg", "sha256")

-- The only difference in signing with a smartcard or USB token
-- is that the cert is loaded from a smartcard or USB token, instead of a PFX or from elsewhere
-- such as from the Windows certificate store.
local cert = chilkat.Cert.new()

-- Use your USB token PIN (user password).
-- It will be a string similar to this:  j6X54nB7-jlp5Cr2
cert.smart_card_pin = "j6X54nB7-jlp5Cr2"

-- Load the certificate based on the serial number.
-- *** Use your certificate's serial number.
local success = cert:load_from_smartcard("serial=3FF5B69109BFD4046C92CC0D18EE23C2")
if not success then
    print(cert.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Note: If the above fails, then use the SafeNet Authentication Client Tools
-- to login to your token using your token password.
-- You don't want too many failed logins, otherwise you'll lock the token.
-- A successful login will reset number of failed logins back to 0.

-- Note: This is to sign Microsoft Windows executables or DLLs
-- You can sign .exe or .dll files.
local exePath = "C:/someDirectory/HelloWorld.exe"

local signer = chilkat.CodeSign.new()

-- If successful, the following call will apply the signature to the EXE (or DLL).
success = signer:add_signature(exePath, cert, json)
if not success then
    print(signer.last_error_text)
    return
end

print("Successfully applied the Authenticode signature.")
