PKCS7 Sign Text using RSA 2048, SHA256, Base64 Output

See more Digital Signatures Examples

Demonstrates how to sign text using 2048-bit RSA with SHA256, producing PKCS#7 output in Base64. The certificate w/ private key used for signing is loaded from a .p12/.pfx file. JavaScript

var success = false;

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

var cert = new CkCert();

// Load the cert and private key.  Whatever the private key happens to be,
// such as RSA or ECC, then Chilkat will use it.  If the private key is 
// a 2048-bit RSA key, then that's what will be used..
success = cert.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/pfx/myCertAndKey.p12","password");
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(cert.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

var crypt = new CkCrypt2();

success = crypt.SetSigningCert(cert);
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(crypt.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Use SHA-256
crypt.HashAlgorithm = "sha256";

// Hash the utf-8 byte representation of the string
crypt.Charset = "utf-8";

// Return the result in base64
crypt.EncodingMode = "base64";

// Sign some text..
var textToSign = "This is the text to be hashed and signed.";
var sigBase64 = crypt.OpaqueSignStringENC(textToSign);
if (crypt.LastMethodSuccess !== true) {
    console.log(crypt.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

console.log(sigBase64);

// The result:
