(PowerBuilder) Sign XML (XAdES) in the Cloud using AWS KMS

See more Signing in the Cloud Examples

Demonstrates how to sign XML using AWS KMS. The signing of the hash happens in AWK KMS. Everything else involving the updating the XML to add the signature happens locally within Chilkat.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.96 or greater.
