(PowerBuilder) Create XML Digital Signature using Certificate on Smart Card

See more ScMinidriver Examples

Demonstrates how to load a certificate located on a smart card or USB token and then use it for creating an XML digital signature such that the cryptographic signing happens on the smart card.
