(PowerShell) Create CAdES-T Signature using Aruba TSA Server (servizi.arubapec.it)

Demonstrates how to create a signature with an external timestamp (using the Aruba TSA Server) that certifies the time of signing.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.79 or greater.

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

$crypt = New-Object Chilkat.Crypt2

# This example will use a certificate + private key from a .pfx/.p12 file.
# On Windows systems, it is also possible to use certs on smartcards/usb tokens or certs pre-installed in the Windows registry.
$cert = New-Object Chilkat.Cert

    $($cert.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

$success = $crypt.SetSigningCert($cert)

# Use SHA-256 rather than the default of SHA-1
$crypt.HashAlgorithm = "sha256"

$attrs.UpdateBool("messageDigest",$true)
$attrs.UpdateBool("signingCertificateV2",$true)

# A CAdES-T signature is one that includes a timestampToken created by an online TSA (time stamping authority).
# We must include the TSA's URL, as well as a few options to indicate what is desired.
# This example uses the Aruba TSA server, which requires a login/password for the HTTPS request.
$attrs.UpdateBool("timestampToken.enabled",$true)
$attrs.UpdateString("timestampToken.tsaUrl","https://servizi.arubapec.it/tsa/ngrequest.php")

# The tsaUsername/tsaPassword feature was added in Chilkat v9.5.0.79.
# Make sure you are using a version of Chilkat that is no older than v9.5.0.79
$attrs.UpdateString("timestampToken.tsaUsername","arubaTsaUsername")
$attrs.UpdateString("timestampToken.tsaPassword","arubaTsaPassword")
