; This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
; See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$oCert = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Cert")

; Load the cert and private key.
$bSuccess = $oCert.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/pfx/myCertAndKey.p12","password")
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oCert.LastErrorText & @CRLF)

If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oCrypt.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; Use SHA-256
$oCrypt.HashAlgorithm = "sha256"

; Hash the utf-8 byte representation of the string
$oCrypt.Charset = "utf-8"

; Return the result in base64
$oCrypt.EncodingMode = "base64Mime"

; Sign some text to create a detached signature (i.e. a signature that does not include the signed data)
Local $sTextToSign = "This is the text to be hashed and signed."

    Exit
EndIf

ConsoleWrite($sigBase64 & @CRLF)

; The result:

; If we want it in PEM format with just LF line-endings:

; Just LF line endings, not CRLF.

; Save to a file.
$oSb.WriteFile("c:/temp/qa_output/sig.pem","utf-8",False)

; Examine..
ConsoleWrite($oSb.GetAsString() & @CRLF)

; Result is:
