See more Code Signing Examples

Demonstrates how to Authenticode sign an EXE or DLL.

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

# First create the following JSON to specify that SHA256 is to be used,
# and provide timestamp server information.

# {
#   "hashAlg": "sha256",
#   "timestampToken": {
#     "enabled": true,
#     "tsaUrl": "http://timestamp.digicert.com",
#     "requestTsaCert": true,
#     "hashAlg": "sha256"
#   }
# }
