PKCS11 XML Signature using Certificate and Private Key on Smart Card / USB Token

See more PKCS11 Examples

Sample code showing how to use PKCS11 to create an XML digital signature with a certificate and private key stored on a smart card or USB token.

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

Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    // 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.

    let pkcs11 = CkoPkcs11()!

    // This example is tested on Windows using a Giesecke and Devrient Sm@rtCafe Expert 3.2 smart card.
    // You will use the DLL (or shared lib) provided by your smart card vendor, or a DLL compatible with your smart card.
    // On Windows, if the DLL is located in C:\Windows\System32, specify only the filename.
    // Otherwise provide the full path.
    pkcs11.sharedLibPath = "aetpkss1.dll"

    // Make it an authenticated session by calling Login.
    var userType: Int = 1
    // Make sure to use the correct PIN for your smart card..
    var pin: String? = "0000"

    success = pkcs11.quickSession(userType: userType, pin: pin)
    if success == false {
        print("\(pkcs11.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Get the certificate (on the smart card) that has a private key.
    let cert = CkoCert()!
    success = pkcs11.findCert(certPart: "privateKey", partValue: "", cert: cert)
    if success == true {
        print("Cert with private key: \(cert.subjectCN!)")
    }
    else {
        print("No certificates having a private key were found.")
        success = pkcs11.closeSession()
        return
    }

    // 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:

    // Generate Code to Create XML
