Duplicate OpensSSL to Create Signature using Cert and Key Files

See more OpenSSL Examples

This example duplicates the following:
openssl smime –sign -in something.xml -out something.der -signer mycert.crt -inkey cert.key -outform der –nodetach

Note: Although "smime" is the OpenSSL command, it's not actually producing S/MIME. The arguments "-outform der -binary" indicates that the output is binary DER (i.e. the PKCS7 binary signature). The input can be any type of file: XML, PDF, JPG, ... *anything*...
