Verify a .p7m and get Algorithm Information

See more Digital Signatures Examples

Demonstrates how to verify a .p7m and then examine the algorithms used by the signature. VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

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

Dim crypt As New Chilkat.Crypt2

Dim inFile As String = "qa_data/p7m/brainpoolP256r1.p7m"
Dim outFile As String = "qa_output/something.dat"

' Verify and extract the signed data.
success = crypt.VerifyP7M(inFile,outFile)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(crypt.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Examine details about the signature(s)
Dim json As New Chilkat.JsonObject
