(Android™) 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

    // then see the online documentation for the LoadFromSmartcard method,
    // and also see the online documentation and examples for Chilkat Pkcs11 and ScMinidriver.
    // 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.
