Sign String to create a CAdES-T Signature

See more CAdES Examples

This example will sign a string to create a CAdEST-T signature.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.78 or greater.

; A CAdES-T signature is one that includes a timestampToken created by an online TSA (time stamping authority).
; We must include the TSA's URL, as well as a few options to indicate what is desired.
; Except for the TSA URL, the options shown here are typically what you would need.
