(Swift 2) Sign a Byte Array to Create an Opaque Signature in a Byte Array

Signs data contained in a byte array to produce an opaque signature (also in a byte array). An opaque signature is a PKCS7 signature (also known as CAdES) that embeds the signed data. Also shows how to verify the signature and extract the original data.
