(Classic ASP) RSASSA-PSS Sign Binary Data

Signs binary data to create a PKCS7/CMS signature. The signature algorithm is RSASSA-PSS with SHA256.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.67 or greater.

set crypt = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.Crypt2")

' Get a digital certificate with private key from a .pfx
' (Chilkat has many different ways to provide a cert + private key for siging.
' Using a PFX is just one possible option.)
' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Pfx")
set pfx = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.Pfx")

    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( pfx.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

' Get the certificate to be used for signing.
' (The typical case for a PFX is that it contains a cert with an associated private key,
' as well as other certificates in the chain of authentication.  The cert with the private
' key should be in the first position at index 0.)
' cert is a Chilkat.Cert
Set cert = pfx.GetCert(0)
If (pfx.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( pfx.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
