Authenticode Sign an Executable (EXE) or DLL

See more Code Signing Examples

Demonstrates how to Authenticode sign an EXE or DLL.

Note: Chilkat's code signing class was added in v9.5.0.97

Rust

// 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"
//   }
// }

let json = chilkat::JsonObject::new();
let _ = json.update_string("hashAlg", "sha256");
let _ = json.update_bool("timestampToken.enabled", true);
let _ = json.update_string("timestampToken.tsaUrl", "http://timestamp.digicert.com");
let _ = json.update_bool("timestampToken.requestTsaCert", true);
let _ = json.update_string("timestampToken.hashAlg", "sha256");

// Load a code signing certificate..
let cert = chilkat::Cert::new();
if cert.load_pfx_file("C:/someDir/myCodeSigningCert.pfx", "pfx password").is_err() {
    println!("{}", cert.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// You can sign .exe or .dll files.
let exe_path = "C:/someOtherDir/HelloWorld.exe".to_string();

let signer = chilkat::CodeSign::new();

// If successful, the following call will apply the signature to the EXE (or DLL).
if signer.add_signature(&exe_path, &cert, &json).is_err() {
    println!("{}", signer.last_error_text());
    return;
}

println!("Successfully applied the Authenticode signature.");
