    // signing, and it is the certificate that is associated with the private key also stored on the smart card (or USB token).
    // There may be other certificates on the card, but these are the issuer certificates in the chain of authentication.
    // You're just interested in getting the certificate with the private key.
    // You can do it like this:
    CkCert cert;
    // Pass the keyword "privateKey" in the 1st argument, and an empty string in the 2nd arg.
    // This returns the 1st certificate that has a private key.
    success = pkcs11.FindCert("privateKey","",cert);
