(PowerBuilder) ECDSA Sign Data and Verify Signature

Demonstrates using the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm to hash data and sign it. Also demonstrates how to verify the ECDSA signature.

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

// To create an ECDSA signature, the data first needs to be hashed.  Then the hash
// is signed.

// Use Chilkat Crypt2 to generate a hash for any of the following
// hash algorithms: SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, SHA1, MD5, MD2, HAVAL, RIPEMD128/160/256/320

// Hash a string.

Write-Debug "hash1 = " + ls_Hash1

// Or hash a file..
ls_Hash2 = loo_Crypt.HashFileENC("qa_data/hamlet.xml")
Write-Debug "hash2 = " + ls_Hash2

// (The Crypt2 API provides many other ways to hash data..)
