(VB.NET) Create .p7s Compliant with ICP-Brazil Digital Signature Standard

Demonstrates how to create a .p7s signature that contains a data file, which in this case is a PDF. The .p7s will be compliant with the ICP-Brazil Digital Signature Standard.

Important: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.92 or later.

Chilkat .NET Downloads Chilkat .NET Framework Chilkat for .NET Core

' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Dim crypt As New Chilkat.Crypt2

' Any type of file can be signed.  It doesn't have to be a PDF.
Dim inFile As String = "qa_data/pdf/helloWorld.pdf"

Dim bd As New Chilkat.BinData
Dim success As Boolean = bd.LoadFile(inFile)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine("Failed to load " & inFile)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Get the certificate we'll be using to sign.
Dim cert As New Chilkat.Cert

success = cert.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/pfx/cert_test123.pfx","test123")
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(cert.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


success = crypt.SetSigningCert(cert)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(crypt.LastErrorText)
