PowerShell Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Create a Hash Signature for Value Added Tax Audit SOAP Message for Angola

See more OpenSSL Examples

Demonstrates how to create a hash signature that is required in Value Added Tax Audit Files in Angola, Africa.

It is the following two instructions that should be used to create a hash value to be put into a <hash></hash> field in SOAP XML file containing the tax data for the VAT authorities:

openssl dgst -shal -sign private.pem -outRegisto1.shal Registo1.txt

then

openssl enc -base64 - in Registo1.shal -out Registo1.b64 -A

PowerShell

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$success = $false

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

$pkey = New-Object Chilkat.PrivateKey

#  Load the private key from an PEM file.
#  Provide the password in the 2nd argument.
#  If no password is needed, just pass an empty string.
$success = $pkey.LoadAnyFormatFile("qa_data/rsa/rsaPrivKey_secret.pem","secret")
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($pkey.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

#  Assuming this is an RSA private key..
$rsa = New-Object Chilkat.Rsa

#  Import the private key into the RSA object:
$success = $rsa.UsePrivateKey($pkey)
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($rsa.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

#  OpenSSL uses big-endian.
$rsa.LittleEndian = $false

#  SHA1 hash and sign, and return base64.
$rsa.EncodingMode = "base64"
$b64sig = $rsa.SignStringENC("2018-05-18,2018-05-18T11:22:19;FAC 001/18;53.00;","sha1")
$($b64sig)

#  The signature is equal in size to your private key.  For example, if you have a 1024-bit RSA key,
#  then 1024 bits = 128 bytes.   When 128 bytes is base64 encoded, the result is a string approximately
#  4/3rds the size of the original.  128 * 4 / 3 = (approximately) 172 bytes.

#  If your RSA key is 2048-bits, then your signature will be twice as long.
