// 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"
//   }
// }

// Use "Chilkat_9_5_0.JsonObject" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0
li_rc = loo_Json.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.JsonObject")
if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_Json
    MessageBox("Error","Connecting to COM object failed")
    return
end if
loo_Json.UpdateString("hashAlg","sha256")

loo_Json.UpdateString("timestampToken.tsaUrl","http://timestamp.digicert.com")

// Load a code signing certificate..
loo_Cert = create oleobject
// Use "Chilkat_9_5_0.Cert" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0
li_rc = loo_Cert.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.Cert")

if li_Success = 0 then
    Write-Debug loo_Cert.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_Json
    destroy loo_Cert
    return

// You can sign .exe or .dll files.

// If successful, the following call will apply the signature to the EXE (or DLL).
