(Classic ASP) RSA Sign using a Private Key on a USB Token or Smartcard

See more Apple Keychain Examples

Create an RSA signature using a private key stored on a USB token or smartcard.

Note: On MacOS and iOS, this example requires Chilkat v10.1.2 or later when the Apple Keychain is used as the underlying means to do the signing.

' Assuming the smartcard/USB token is installed with the correct drivers from the manufacturer,
' this code can work on multiple platforms including Windows, MacOS, Linux, and iOS.

' Chilkat automatically detects and determines the way in which the HSM is used,
' which can be by PKCS11, Apple Keychain, Microsoft CNG / Crypto API, or ScMinidriver.

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Cert")
set cert = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.Cert")

' Set the token/smartcard PIN prior to loading.
cert.SmartCardPin = "123456"

' Specify the certificate by its common name.
success = cert.LoadFromSmartcard("cn=chilkat-rsa-2048")

' Create data to be hashed and signed.
' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.BinData")
