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

//  In order to sign your HTTP requests, you have to add 2 headers to the HTTP request: Digest: the digest of the request payload and Signature: the actual signature of the request. 

//  POST /xs2a/customer-access-tokens HTTP/1.1
//  Host: api.ibanity.com
//  Content-Type: application/json
//  Digest: SHA-512=z4PhNX7vuL3xVChQ1m2AB9Yg5AULVxXcg/SpIdNs6c5H0NE8XYXysP+DGNKHfuwvY7kxvUdBeoGlODJ6+SfaPg==
//  Ibanity-Idempotency-Key: 61f02718-eeee-46e1-b5eb-e8fd6e799c2d
//  Signature: keyId="62f02718-eeee-46e1-b5eb-e8fd6e799c2e",created=1599659223,algorithm="hs2019",headers="(request-target) host digest (created) ibanity-idempotency-key",signature="SjWJWbWN7i0...zsbM="
//  
//  {"data":{"type":"customerAccessToken", "attributes":{"applicationCustomerReference":"15874569"}}}

//  The payload (body) of the above HTTP request is the JSON.
//  Build the JSON above.
//  Use this online tool to generate code from sample JSON: 
//  Generate Code to Create JSON
Chilkat.JsonObject json = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
json.UpdateString("data.type","customerAccessToken");
json.UpdateString("data.attributes.applicationCustomerReference","15874569");

string payload = json.Emit();
Debug.WriteLine("payload = " + payload);

//  Step 1: Build the (created) virtual header

Chilkat.CkDateTime dtNow = new Chilkat.CkDateTime();
dtNow.SetFromCurrentSystemTime();
string created = dtNow.GetAsUnixTimeStr(false);
Debug.WriteLine("created = " + created);

//  Step 2: Build the Digest header
Chilkat.Crypt2 crypt = new Chilkat.Crypt2();
crypt.HashAlgorithm = "sha512";
crypt.EncodingMode = "base64";
crypt.Charset = "utf-8";

Chilkat.StringBuilder sbDigestHdrValue = new Chilkat.StringBuilder();
sbDigestHdrValue.Append("SHA-512=");
sbDigestHdrValue.Append(crypt.HashStringENC(json.Emit()));

Debug.WriteLine(sbDigestHdrValue.GetAsString());

//  Step 3: Build the (request target) virtual header

//  In order to build the signature you will need a virtual header named (request-target) (the parentheses are important). 
//  The (request-target) is the string concatenation of the HTTP method (in lowercase) with the path and query parameters.
string request_target = "post /xs2a/customer-access-tokens";

//  Step 4: Build the signing string

//  The signing string is the concatenation of the signed header names (in lowercase) and values separated by a LF.

//  You must always sign the following headers: (request-target), host, (created), digest. 
//  If used, you must also sign the authorization header and any ibanity-* headers, such as ibanity-idempotency-key. 

Chilkat.StringBuilder sbSigningString = new Chilkat.StringBuilder();
sbSigningString.Append("(request-target): ");
sbSigningString.AppendLine(request_target,false);
sbSigningString.Append("host: ");
sbSigningString.AppendLine("api.ibanity.com",false);
sbSigningString.Append("digest: ");
sbSigningString.AppendLine(sbDigestHdrValue.GetAsString(),false);
sbSigningString.Append("(created): ");
sbSigningString.AppendLine(created,false);
sbSigningString.Append("ibanity-idempotency-key: ");
string idempotencyKey = crypt.GenerateUuid();
sbSigningString.Append(idempotencyKey);

//  Step 5: Build the signed headers list

//  To allow Ibanity to check the signed headers, you must provide a list of the header names. They should be lowercase and in the same order used to create the signing string. 
string signed_headers_list = "(request-target) host digest (created) ibanity-idempotency-key";

//  Step 6: Build the Signature header

//  This is where the real signing happens. The signature header is a combination of several sub-headers -
//  
//      keyId: the identifier for the application's signature certificate, obtained from the Developer Portal
//      algorithm: the digital signature algorithm used to generate the signature (must be hs2019)
//      headers: The list of HTTP headers created in step 5
//      signature: the Base64-encoded digital signature of the signing string created in step 4.

Chilkat.PrivateKey privKey = new Chilkat.PrivateKey();
success = privKey.LoadEncryptedPemFile("my_ibanity_signature_private_key.pem","pem_password");
if (success == false) {

    return;
}

Chilkat.Rsa rsa = new Chilkat.Rsa();
rsa.PssSaltLen = 32;
rsa.EncodingMode = "base64";
//  Use the RSASSA-PSS signature algorithm
rsa.PkcsPadding = false;

success = rsa.UsePrivateKey(privKey);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rsa.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Sign the signing string.
string sigBase64 = rsa.SignStringENC(sbSigningString.GetAsString(),"sha-256");
if (rsa.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rsa.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Build the signature header value.
Chilkat.StringBuilder sbSigHeaderValue = new Chilkat.StringBuilder();
sbSigHeaderValue.Append("keyId=\"");
//  Use your identifier for the application's signature certificate, obtained from the Developer Portal
sbSigHeaderValue.Append("62f02718-eeee-46e1-b5eb-e8fd6e799c2e");
sbSigHeaderValue.Append("\",created=");
