PKCS11 XML Signature using Certificate and Private Key on Smart Card / USB Token

See more PKCS11 Examples

Sample code showing how to use PKCS11 to create an XML digital signature with a certificate and private key stored on a smart card or USB token.

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

; Our XML signing code is the same as for a cert obtained from any other source..

; First generate the following XML to be signed:
