CADES-BES Signature using ePass2003 Token

See more Egypt ITIDA Examples

Demonstrates using a certificate and private key located on an ePass2003 USB token to create a CADES-BES signature.

(Demonstrates how to create a .p7s signature that fits Egypt's ITIDA requirements where Chilkat automatically does the ITIDA JSON canonicalization.)
