(VB.NET UWP/WinRT) P7S - Access Signature Information (date/time, certificate used, etc.)

Examine a PKCS7 signature (.p7s) and get information about it. Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.75 or greater.

' First load the .p7s file into a BinData object..
Dim bd As New Chilkat.BinData
Dim success As Boolean = bd.LoadFile("qa_data/p7s/sample.p7s")

' IMPORTANT:  This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.75 or greater.
Dim crypt As New Chilkat.Crypt2

' Assuming this is a signature that contains the original data that was signed..
success = crypt.OpaqueVerifyBd(bd)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(crypt.LastErrorText)

' Examine the LastJsonData after signature verification..
