(MFC) A3/A4 Certificate to Create and Verify an Opaque PKCS7/CMS Signature

Demonstrates how to use an A3 or A4 certificate w/ private key on a smartcard or token to create a PKCS7 opaque signature, and also how to verify an opaque signature.

An opaque signature is different than a detached PKCS7 signature in that it contains the original data. Verifying an opaque signature retrieves the original content.

    // the smartcard reader.
