(Go) Create a Hash Signature for Value Added Tax Audit SOAP Message for Angola

Demonstrates how to create a hash signature that is required in Value Added Tax Audit Files in Angola, Africa.

It is the following two instructions that should be used to create a hash value to be put into a <hash></hash> field in SOAP XML file containing the tax data for the VAT authorities:

openssl dgst -shal -sign private.pem -outRegisto1.shal Registo1.txt

then

openssl enc -base64 - in Registo1.shal -out Registo1.b64 -A

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

    success := false

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

    pkey := PrivateKey_Ref.html">chilkat.NewPrivateKey()

    // Load the private key from an PEM file.
    // Provide the password in the 2nd argument.
    // If no password is needed, just pass an empty string.
    success = pkey.LoadAnyFormatFile("qa_data/rsa/rsaPrivKey_secret.pem","secret")
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(pkey.LastErrorText())
        pkey.DisposePrivateKey()
        return
    }

    // Assuming this is an RSA private key..
    rsa := Rsa_Ref.html">chilkat.NewRsa()

    // Import the private key into the RSA object:
    success = rsa.UsePrivateKey(pkey)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(rsa.LastErrorText())
        pkey.DisposePrivateKey()
        rsa.DisposeRsa()
        return
    }

    // OpenSSL uses big-endian.
    rsa.SetLittleEndian(false)

    // SHA1 hash and sign, and return base64.
    rsa.SetEncodingMode("base64")
    b64sig := rsa.SignStringENC("2018-05-18,2018-05-18T11:22:19;FAC 001/18;53.00;","sha1")
    fmt.Println(*b64sig)

    // The signature is equal in size to your private key.  For example, if you have a 1024-bit RSA key,
    // then 1024 bits = 128 bytes.   When 128 bytes is base64 encoded, the result is a string approximately
    // 4/3rds the size of the original.  128 * 4 / 3 = (approximately) 172 bytes.

    // If your RSA key is 2048-bits, then your signature will be twice as long.
