Authenticode Sign using Smartcard or USB Token

See more Code Signing Examples

Demonstrates how to Authenticode sign an EXE or DLL using a smartcard or USB token, such as a Yubikey.

Note: Chilkat's code signing class was added in v9.5.0.97

# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.

# 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"

# 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.

# If the smartcard/token has several possible certificates that can be used for signing,
# then see the online documentation for the LoadFromSmartcard method,

# There are many possible ways to load a Chilkat certificate object with a cert (and associated private key)
# from a variety of sources.  The only coding difference for any signing function in Chilkat,
# whether it be a PDF, XmlDSig, CMS, etc. is in how the cert is loaded.

# You can sign .exe or .dll files.
