(Lianja) RSA Sign using a Private Key on a USB Token or Smartcard

See more Apple Keychain Examples

Note: On MacOS and iOS, this example requires Chilkat v10.1.2 or later when the Apple Keychain is used as the underlying means to do the signing.

// Assuming the smartcard/USB token is installed with the correct drivers from the manufacturer,
// this code can work on multiple platforms including Windows, MacOS, Linux, and iOS.

// Chilkat automatically detects and determines the way in which the HSM is used,
// which can be by PKCS11, Apple Keychain, Microsoft CNG / Crypto API, or ScMinidriver.

// Set the token/smartcard PIN prior to loading.
