(PHP ActiveX) Code Signing using Sectigo USB Token

See more Code Signing Examples

Demonstrates how to Authenticode sign an EXE or DLL using a SafeNet USB token from Sectigo.

Requires Chilkat v10.0.0 or greater.

Chilkat ActiveX Downloads ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Note: The php_com_dotnet.dll may need to be enabled inside of php.ini.

<?php

// 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"
//   }
// }

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.JsonObject')
$json = new COM("Chilkat.JsonObject");
$json->UpdateString('hashAlg','sha256');
$json->UpdateBool('timestampToken.enabled',1);
$json->UpdateString('timestampToken.tsaUrl','http://timestamp.digicert.com');
$json->UpdateBool('timestampToken.requestTsaCert',1);
$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.
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Cert')
$cert = new COM("Chilkat.Cert");

// Use your USB token PIN (user password).
// It will be a string similar to this:  j6X54nB7-jlp5Cr2
$cert->SmartCardPin = 'j6X54nB7-jlp5Cr2';

// Load the certificate based on the serial number.
// *** Use your certificate's serial number.
$success = $cert->LoadFromSmartcard('serial=3FF5B69109BFD4046C92CC0D18EE23C2');
if ($success == 0) {
    print $cert->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Note: If the above fails, then use the SafeNet Authentication Client Tools
// to login to your token using your token password.
// You don't want too many failed logins, otherwise you'll lock the token.
// A successful login will reset number of failed logins back to 0.

// Note: This is to sign Microsoft Windows executables or DLLs
// You can sign .exe or .dll files.
$exePath = 'C:/someDirectory/HelloWorld.exe';

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.CodeSign')
$signer = new COM("Chilkat.CodeSign");

// If successful, the following call will apply the signature to the EXE (or DLL).
$success = $signer->AddSignature($exePath,$cert,$json);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $signer->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

print 'Successfully applied the Authenticode signature.' . "\n";
