(PowerBuilder) RSA Sign using a Private Key on a USB Token or Smartcard

See more Apple Keychain Examples

Create an RSA signature using a private key stored on a USB token or smartcard.

Note: On MacOS and iOS, this example requires Chilkat v10.1.2 or later when the Apple Keychain is used as the underlying means to do the signing.
