PHP Extension Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

RSA Signature with Certificate's Private Key from PFX

See more RSA Examples

Demonstrates how to use a certificate's private key from a PFX file to create an RSA signature. PHP Extension

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

//  Create an instance of a certificate store object, load a PFX file,
//  locate the certificate we need, and use it for signing.
//  (a PFX file may contain more than one certificate.)
$certStore = new CkCertStore();

//  The 1st argument is the filename, the 2nd arg is the 
//  PFX file's password:

//  Find the certificate by the subject common name:
