Sign a File to Create a .p7m File (using a PFX)

See more Encryption Examples

_LANGUAGE_ example to sign a file creating a .p7m file as output. The .p7m contains the signed contents of the original file. It can be verified and restored by calling VerifyP7M. Visual FoxPro

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

* Use a digital certificate and private key from a PFX file (.pfx or .p12).
lcSigningCertSubject = "Acme Inc"

* Tell the crypt component to use this cert.

* We can sign any type of file, creating a .p7m as output:

lnSuccess = loCrypt.CreateP7M(lcInFile,lcOutputFile)

* Verify and restore the original file:
lnSuccess = loCrypt.SetVerifyCert(loCert)

lcInFile = lcOutputFile
lcOutputFile = "/Users/chilkat/testData/pdf/restored.pdf"

lnSuccess = loCrypt.VerifyP7M(lcInFile,lcOutputFile)
