Include the SigningCertificateV2 Authenticated Attribute in CAdES (CMS) Signature

See more CAdES Examples

Demonstrates how to include the SigningCertificateV2 authenticated attribute in a CMS (.p7m/.p7s) signature. Objective-C

// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// To create a CAdES-BES signature, set this property equal to true.

// Create the CAdES-BES attached signature, which contains the original data.
// Note: Chilkat's function naming is not accurate.  CreateP7M creates a PKCS7 signature where the signed file
// is contained within the signature.  CreateP7S creates a detached PKCS7 signature where the signed file
// is NOT contained within the signature.  We want the data to be contained in the signature, therefore
// we call CreateP7M even though we are naming our output file .p7s.
