CoSign PKCS7/CMS Signed Data

See more Digital Signatures Examples

Demonstrates how to add a 2nd signature to a CMS SignedData. This is to add an additional signature, SignerInfo and certificate(s) to an existing CMS signed data.

In this example, we cosign an existing pdf.p7s

Note: The CoSign method is added in Chilkat v9.5.0.89.

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

// If loading from a smart card, set the smartcard PIN.

// NOTE:  This is to cosign a PDF file contained within a CMS (PKCS7) message.
// (In other words, the PDF is contained within the CMS SignedData, rather than the other way around
// where a CMS signature is contained within a PDF.  Use Chilkat's PDF class to sign a PDF, which is
// to embed a CMS signature within the PDF.)
