(Classic ASP) EuroCert Cloud Sign XML

See more Signing in the Cloud Examples

Demonstrates how to sign XML using the EuroCert cloud provider. The signing of the hash happens on a hardware token on the EuroCert server. 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.
