(PowerShell) Rewrite PFX using AES256-SHA256

Demonstrates how to load a .pfx/.p12, examine the encryption algorithm used, and rewrite using aes256-sha256.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.83 or greater.

# This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.83 or greater.

$pfx = New-Object Chilkat.Pfx

# Let's load a .pfx and examine the encryption algorithms used to protect the private key:
$success = $pfx.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/pfx/test_secret.pfx","secret")
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($pfx.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# Examine the algorithms:

# "pbeWithSHAAnd3_KeyTripleDES_CBC" or "pbes2"?
$("Algorithm: " + $pfx.AlgorithmId)

# If the algorithm is "pbes2" then examine the actual encryption and HMAC algorithms used within pbes2.
# (If the algorithm is NOT "pbes2", then the following properties are meaningless and will not be modified from their previous values prior to loading the PFX.)
$("Pbes2CryptAlg: " + $pfx.Pbes2CryptAlg)
$("Pbes2HmacAlg: " + $pfx.Pbes2HmacAlg)

# Our output so far:

# Algorithm: pbeWithSHAAnd3_KeyTripleDES_CBC
# Pbes2CryptAlg: aes256-cbc
# Pbes2HmacAlg: hmacWithSha256

# This tells us that the PFX we loaded was protected using triple-DES with SHA1.
# (Most existing .pfx/.p12 files use 3DES w/ SHA1.)
# The Pbes2CryptAlg and Pbes2HmacAlg properties do not apply here because the AlgorithmId is not equal to "pbes2".  We can ignore those values.

# Examine the LastJsonData for the call to LoadPfxFile.  This gives us information about what is contained in the PFX, including extended attributes.
$json = $pfx.LastJsonData()
