Sign XML (XAdES) using AWS CloudHSM

See more PKCS11 Examples

Demonstrates how to sign XML using AWS CloudHSM. The signing of the hash happens on a hardware token in AWS CloudHSM. Everything else involving the updating the XML to add the signature happens locally within Chilkat.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.96 or later.
