(C# UWP/WinRT) Send a Signed Email using RSASSA-PSS with SHA256

Demonstrates how to sign and send an email using the RSASSA-PSS signing algorithm with the SHA256 hash algorithm.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.67 or greater.

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

// Get a digital certificate with private key from a .pfx
// (Chilkat has many different ways to provide a cert + private key for siging.
// Using a PFX is just one possible option.)
Chilkat.Pfx pfx = new Chilkat.Pfx();

// Add one ore more recipients..

// Indicate that the email is to be signed, and that we want to use RSASSA-PSS.
email.SendSigned = true;

// Get the certificate to be used for signing.
// (The typical case for a PFX is that it contains a cert with an associated private key,
// as well as other certificates in the chain of authentication.  The cert with the private
// key should be in the first position at index 0.)
Chilkat.Cert cert = pfx.GetCert(0);
if (pfx.LastMethodSuccess != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(pfx.LastErrorText);
    return;

// Tell the email object to use this cert (and private key) for signing.
