Create XML Digital Signature using Certificate on Smart Card

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.

# You can find a cerficate using any of the following certificate parts:

# "subjectCN" -- The common name part (CN) of the certificate's subject.
# "serial" -- The certificate serial number.
# "serial:issuerCN" -- The certificate serial number + the issuer's common name, delimited with a colon char.
# These are the same certificate parts that can be retrieved by listing certificates on the smart card (or USB token).

# The cert object can now be used to sign or do other cryptographic operations that occur on the smart card / USB token.
# If your application calls PinDeauthenticate or DeleteContext, the cert will no longer be able to sign on the smart card
# because the smart card ScMinidriver session will no longer be authenticated or deleted.
