PKCS7 Sign Text using RSA 2048, SHA256, Base64 Output

See more Digital Signatures Examples

Demonstrates how to sign text using 2048-bit RSA with SHA256, producing PKCS#7 output in Base64. The certificate w/ private key used for signing is loaded from a .p12/.pfx file. React Native

  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  const cert = new Cert();

  // Load the cert and private key.  Whatever the private key happens to be,
  // such as RSA or ECC, then Chilkat will use it.  If the private key is 
  // a 2048-bit RSA key, then that's what will be used..
