(Swift 3,4,5...) PKCS11 Find Certificate with Key Usage on Smart Card or USB Token

See more PKCS11 Examples

Demonstrates how to find and return the 1st certificate on a smart card or USB token with a desired intended key usage.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.91 or later.

    // userType 1 indicates a "Normal User".
