Authenticode Sign using Smartcard or USB Token

See more Code Signing Examples

Demonstrates how to Authenticode sign an EXE or DLL using a smartcard or USB token, such as a Yubikey.

Note: Chilkat's code signing class was added in v9.5.0.97

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

    //  First create the following JSON to specify that SHA256 is to be used,
    //  and provide timestamp server information.

    //  {
    //    "hashAlg": "sha256",
    //    "timestampToken": {
    //      "enabled": true,
    //      "tsaUrl": "http://timestamp.digicert.com",
    //      "requestTsaCert": true,
    //      "hashAlg": "sha256"
    //    }
    //  }

    var json = new chilkat.JsonObject();
    json.UpdateString("hashAlg","sha256");
    json.UpdateBool("timestampToken.enabled",true);
    json.UpdateString("timestampToken.tsaUrl","http://timestamp.digicert.com");
    json.UpdateBool("timestampToken.requestTsaCert",true);
    json.UpdateString("timestampToken.hashAlg","sha256");

    //  The only difference in signing with a smartcard or USB token
    //  is that the cert is loaded from a smartcard or USB token, instead of a PFX or from elsewhere
    //  such as from the Windows certificate store.
    var cert = new chilkat.Cert();

    //  Yubico YubiKey OTP+FIDO+CCID 0, default PIN = 123456
    cert.SmartCardPin = "123456";

    //  Assuming you have the Yubikey inserted into the USB on the computer...
    //  and there is only 1 signing certificate on the Yubikey, then just load from
    //  the "smartcard".  (assuming you don't have additional smartcards or USB tokens plugged in)
    success = cert.LoadFromSmartcard("");
    if (success == false) {
        console.log(cert.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    //  If the smartcard/token has several possible certificates that can be used for signing,
    //  then see the online documentation for the LoadFromSmartcard method,
    //  and also see the online documentation and examples for Chilkat Pkcs11 and ScMinidriver.
    //  There are many possible ways to load a Chilkat certificate object with a cert (and associated private key)
    //  from a variety of sources.  The only coding difference for any signing function in Chilkat,
    //  whether it be a PDF, XmlDSig, CMS, etc. is in how the cert is loaded.

    //  You can sign .exe or .dll files.
    var exePath = "C:/someOtherDir/HelloWorld.exe";

    var signer = new chilkat.CodeSign();

    //  If successful, the following call will apply the signature to the EXE (or DLL).
    success = signer.AddSignature(exePath,cert,json);
    if (success == false) {
        console.log(signer.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    console.log("Successfully applied the Authenticode signature.");
