Sign a File to Create a .p7s (Detached Signature)

See more Encryption Examples

_LANGUAGE_ example to create a detached signature file (.p7s) for any type file. The signature can be verified by calling VerifyP7S and passing the original filename and the .p7s filename. C#

bool success = false;

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

Chilkat.Crypt2 crypt = new Chilkat.Crypt2();

// Use a digital certificate and private key from a PFX file (.pfx or .p12).
string signingCertSubject = "Acme Inc";
string pfxFilename = "/Users/chilkat/testData/pfx/acme.pfx";
string pfxPassword = "test123";

Chilkat.CertStore certStore = new Chilkat.CertStore();
success = certStore.LoadPfxFile(pfxFilename,pfxPassword);
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(certStore.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Chilkat.JsonObject jsonCN = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
jsonCN.UpdateString("CN",signingCertSubject);

Chilkat.Cert cert = new Chilkat.Cert();
success = certStore.FindCert(jsonCN,cert);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine("Failed to find certificate by subject common name.");
    return;
}

// Tell the crypt component to use this cert.
success = crypt.SetSigningCert(cert);

// We can sign any type of file, creating a .p7s as output:
string inFile = "/Users/chilkat/testData/pdf/sample.pdf";
string sigFile = "/Users/chilkat/testData/p7s/sample.p7s";

success = crypt.CreateP7S(inFile,sigFile);
if (success == false) {
