(MFC) DSA Signature Create and Verify

Shows how to create a DSA (DSS) signature for the contents of a file. The first step is to create an SHA-1 hash of the file contents. The hash is signed using the Digital Signature Algorithm and the signature bytes are retrieved as a hex-encoded string.

The 2nd part of the example loads the signature and verifies it against the hash.
