(VBScript) Add EncapsulatedTimestamp to Already-Signed XML

See more XML Digital Signatures Examples

Demonstrates how to add an EncapsulatedTimestamp to an existing XML signature.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.90 or greater.

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

' Note: We cannot load the already-signed XML into a Chilkat XML object because it would re-format the XML when re-emitted.
' (i.e. indentation and whitespace could change, and it would invalidate the existing signature.)
' We must use a StringBuilder.

' Call AddEncapsulatedTimeStamp to add the EncapsulatedTimeStamp to the signature.
' Note: If the signed XML contains multiple signatures, the signature modified is the one 
' indicated by the dsig.Selector property.

' keyword to UncommonOptions.  See here:
