(Swift 2) CAdES BES Attached (Opaque) Signature

Demonstrates how to create a CAdES BES attached signature file (.p7m). This is a PKCS7 signature format (known as an opaque, or "attached" signature) where the file data is embedded within the signature file. The signature verification both verifies the signature and extracts the original data.

(A "detached" signature is where the original data is NOT included within the PKCS7 signature format.)
