(C#) CADES-BES Signature using ePass2003 Token

See more Egypt ITIDA Examples

Demonstrates using a certificate and private key located on an ePass2003 USB token to create a CADES-BES signature.

(Demonstrates how to create a .p7s signature that fits Egypt's ITIDA requirements where Chilkat automatically does the ITIDA JSON canonicalization.)

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

// Reader names (smart card readers or USB tokens) can be discovered
// via List Readers or Find Smart Cards

// If successful, the name of the currently inserted smart card is available:
Debug.WriteLine("Card name: " + scmd.CardName);

// If desired, perform regular PIN authentication with the smartcard.
// For more details about smart card PIN authentication, see the Smart Card PIN Authentication Example

// You can find a cerficate using any of the following certificate parts:
// "subjectDN" -- The full distinguished name of the cert.
// "subjectDN_withTags" -- Same as above, but in a format that includes the subject part tags, such as the "CN=" in "CN=something"
// "subjectCN" -- The common name part (CN) of the certificate's subject.
// "serial" -- The certificate serial number.
// "serial:issuerCN" -- The certificate serial number + the issuer's common name, delimited with a colon char.
// These are the same certificate parts that can be retrieved by listing certificates on the smart card (or USB token).
// See List Certificates on Smart Card Example
string certPart = "subjectCN";
string partValue = "Matt";

// If the certificate is found, it is loaded into the cert object.
// Note: We imported this certificate from a .p12/.pfx using code such as this Example to Import a .pfx/.p12 onto a Smart Card
Chilkat.Cert cert = new Chilkat.Cert();

Debug.WriteLine("Successfully loaded the cert object from the smart card / USB token.");

// Note: When successful, the cert object is internally linked to the ScMinidriver object's authenticated session.
// The cert object can now be used to sign or do other cryptographic operations that occur on the smart card / USB token.
// If your application calls PinDeauthenticate or DeleteContext, the cert will no longer be able to sign on the smart card
// because the smart card ScMinidriver session will no longer be authenticated or deleted.
