(Ruby) Sign XML (XAdES) using AWS CloudHSM

See more PKCS11 Examples

Demonstrates how to sign XML using AWS CloudHSM. The signing of the hash happens on a hardware token in AWS CloudHSM. Everything else involving the updating the XML to add the signature happens locally within Chilkat.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.96 or later.

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

# Note: Chilkat's PKCS11 implementation runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and other supported operating systems.

pkcs11 = Chilkat::CkPkcs11.new()

# Provide the path to the AWS CloudHSM PKCS11 driver.
# This example runs on Windows, so we'll provide the CloudHSM DLL.
# If your code runs on Linux, the CloudHSM driver might be at /opt/cloudhsm/lib/libcloudhsm_pkcs11.so
pkcs11.put_SharedLibPath("C:\\Program Files\\Amazon\\CloudHSM\\lib\\cloudhsm_pkcs11.dll")

# Your PIN should be a string containing your crypto user's login and password, with a colon char delimiting.
# See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cloudhsm/latest/userguide/pkcs11-pin.html

userType = 1

if (success == false)
    print cert.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# Tell the certificate to link with the PKCS11 session.
# The cert's private key should be installed on the CloudHSM.
# If there are multiple private keys on the CloudHSM, then Chilkat will automatically
# locate and use the private key corresponding to the certificate.

# At this point, we have the cert to be used for signing.
# Our XML signing code is the same as for a cert obtained from any other source..

# First generate the following XML to be signed:
# Use this online tool to generate code from sample XML: 
# Generate Code to Create XML
