Lua Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

RSASSA-PSS Sign Binary Data

See more Digital Signatures Examples

Signs binary data to create a PKCS7/CMS signature. The signature algorithm is RSASSA-PSS with SHA256. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

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

local crypt = chilkat.Crypt2.new()

-- Get a digital certificate with private key from a .pfx
-- (Chilkat has many different ways to provide a cert + private key for siging.
-- Using a PFX is just one possible option.)
local pfx = chilkat.Pfx.new()
local success = pfx:load_pfx_file("qa_data/rsassa-pss/privatekey.pfx", "PFX_PASSWORD")
if not success then
    print(pfx.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Get the certificate to be used for signing.
-- (The typical case for a PFX is that it contains a cert with an associated private key,
-- as well as other certificates in the chain of authentication.  The cert with the private
-- key should be in the first position at index 0.)

local cert = chilkat.Cert.new()
success = pfx:cert_at(0, cert)
if not success then
    print(pfx.last_error_text)
    return

-- Indicate that RSASSA-PSS with SHA256 should be used.
crypt.signing_alg = "pss"
crypt.hash_algorithm = "sha256"

-- Load a binary file to be signed:
local binaryData = chilkat.BinData.new()
success = binaryData:load_file("qa_data/jpg/starfish20.jpg")
if not success then
    print("Failed to load file.")
    return
end

-- Sign the binary bytes to get a PKCS7 detached signature in base64 format:

-- The ASN.1 of the signature can be examined by browsing to https://lapo.it/asn1js/ ,

-- An opaque signature is a PKCS7/CMS message that contains both the original data and
