(MFC) Create a Hash Signature for Value Added Tax Audit SOAP Message for Angola

Demonstrates how to create a hash signature that is required in Value Added Tax Audit Files in Angola, Africa.

It is the following two instructions that should be used to create a hash value to be put into a <hash></hash> field in SOAP XML file containing the tax data for the VAT authorities:

openssl dgst -shal -sign private.pem -outRegisto1.shal Registo1.txt

then

openssl enc -base64 - in Registo1.shal -out Registo1.b64 -A

    // OpenSSL uses big-endian.
    rsa.put_LittleEndian(false);

    // SHA1 hash and sign, and return base64.

    const char *b64sig = rsa.signStringENC("2018-05-18,2018-05-18T11:22:19;FAC 001/18;53.00;","sha1");
    strOut.append(b64sig);
    strOut.append("\r\n");

    // The signature is equal in size to your private key.  For example, if you have a 1024-bit RSA key,
    // then 1024 bits = 128 bytes.   When 128 bytes is base64 encoded, the result is a string approximately
    // 4/3rds the size of the original.  128 * 4 / 3 = (approximately) 172 bytes.

    // If your RSA key is 2048-bits, then your signature will be twice as long.
