' If desired, we can choose to only include the signing certificate:

' Create the CAdES-BES attached signature, which contains the original data.
' Note: Chilkat's function naming is not accurate.  CreateP7M creates a PKCS7 signature where the signed file
' is contained within the signature.  CreateP7S creates a detached PKCS7 signature where the signed file
' is NOT contained within the signature.  We want the data to be contained in the signature, therefore
' we call CreateP7M even though we are naming our output file .p7s.
