# The CadesEnabled property applies to all methods that create PKCS7 signatures. 
# To create a CAdES-BES signature, set this property equal to true. 
crypt.CadesEnabled = True

crypt.HashAlgorithm = "sha256"

# We can sign any type of file, creating a .p7s as output.
# The .p7s contains the signature and also embeds the data of the file that is signed.
inFile = "qa_data/xml/sample1.xml"
p7sFile = "qa_output/sample1.xml.p7s"

# Create the CAdES-BES attached signature, which contains the original data.
# Note: Chilkat's function naming is not accurate.  CreateP7M creates a PKCS7 signature where the signed file
# is contained within the signature.  CreateP7S creates a detached PKCS7 signature where the signed file
# is NOT contained within the signature.  We want the data to be contained in the signature, therefore
# we call CreateP7M even though we are naming our output file .p7s.
success = crypt.CreateP7M(inFile,p7sFile)
