(VBScript) Create PKCS7 Attached/Opaque Signature (S/MIME)

Create an S/MIME message with a PKCS7 attached/opaque signature.

Chilkat ActiveX Downloads ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows

Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

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

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Mime")
set mime = CreateObject("Chilkat.Mime")

' Load a certificate w/ private key for signing.
' There are many ways of getting a certificate object:
' from a pfx file, from .cer and private-key files, from the
' Windows registry-based certificate stores, etc.
' Load a PFX file into a certificate object.
' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Cert")
set cert = CreateObject("Chilkat.Cert")

' Create a very simple MIME message to be signed:
success = mime.AddHeaderField("Subject","This is a test")
success = mime.AddHeaderField("MyCustomHeader","abc123")
mime.ContentType = "text/plain"
mime.SetBody "This is a plain-text body."

' Examine the MIME prior to signing:
outFile.WriteLine("--- MIME prior to signing ---")
outFile.WriteLine(mime.GetMime())

' The MIME prior to signing looks like this:
' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

' Subject: This is a test
' MyCustomHeader: abc123
' Content-Type: text/plain
' 
' This is a plain-text body.

' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

' The default hash algorithm used in the signing process is "SHA1".
' To change it, set the SigningHashAlg property:
mime.SigningHashAlg = "SHA256"

' Convert the MIME to PKCS7 signed-data.
success = mime.ConvertToSigned(cert)
If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(mime.LastErrorText)
