Code Signing using Sectigo USB Token

See more Code Signing Examples

Demonstrates how to Authenticode sign an EXE or DLL using a SafeNet USB token from Sectigo.

Requires Chilkat v10.0.0 or greater.

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

//  First create the following JSON to specify that SHA256 is to be used,
//  and provide timestamp server information.

//  {
//    "hashAlg": "sha256",
//    "timestampToken": {
//      "enabled": true,
//      "tsaUrl": "http://timestamp.digicert.com",
//      "requestTsaCert": true,
//      "hashAlg": "sha256"
//    }

//  The only difference in signing with a smartcard or USB token
//  is that the cert is loaded from a smartcard or USB token, instead of a PFX or from elsewhere
//  such as from the Windows certificate store.

//  Use your USB token PIN (user password).
//  It will be a string similar to this:  j6X54nB7-jlp5Cr2

//  Load the certificate based on the serial number.
//  *** Use your certificate's serial number.

//  Note: If the above fails, then use the SafeNet Authentication Client Tools
//  to login to your token using your token password.
//  You don't want too many failed logins, otherwise you'll lock the token.
