# Load a certificate object with a certificate.
# The certificate object could have come from any source,
# or perhaps was obtained from another Chilkat function.
# The source does not matter.  What matters is that we have
# a cert object loaded with the certificate..

# Get the binary DER of the certificae, and compute the SHA256 hash:
bdDer = chilkat.CkBinData()
cert.ExportCertDerBd(bdDer)

# Get the base64 representation of the SHA256 hash.
certHash = bdDer.getHash("sha256","base64")

print("Certificate hash in base64 = " + certHash)
