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

Dim success As Boolean

// 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"
//   }
// }

Dim json As New Chilkat.JsonObject
success = json.UpdateString("hashAlg","sha256")
success = json.UpdateBool("timestampToken.enabled",True)
success = json.UpdateString("timestampToken.tsaUrl","http://timestamp.digicert.com")
success = json.UpdateBool("timestampToken.requestTsaCert",True)
success = json.UpdateString("timestampToken.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.
Dim cert As New Chilkat.Cert

// Yubico YubiKey OTP+FIDO+CCID 0, default PIN = 123456
cert.SmartCardPin = "123456"

// Assuming you have the Yubikey inserted into the USB on the computer...
// and there is only 1 signing certificate on the Yubikey, then just load from
// the "smartcard".  (assuming you don't have additional smartcards or USB tokens plugged in)
success = cert.LoadFromSmartcard("")
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(cert.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// If the smartcard/token has several possible certificates that can be used for signing,
// then see the online documentation for the LoadFromSmartcard method,
// and also see the online documentation and examples for Chilkat Pkcs11 and ScMinidriver.
// There are many possible ways to load a Chilkat certificate object with a cert (and associated private key)
// from a variety of sources.  The only coding difference for any signing function in Chilkat,
// whether it be a PDF, XmlDSig, CMS, etc. is in how the cert is loaded.

// You can sign .exe or .dll files.
Dim exePath As String
exePath = "C:/someOtherDir/HelloWorld.exe"

Dim signer As New Chilkat.CodeSign

// If successful, the following call will apply the signature to the EXE (or DLL).
success = signer.AddSignature(exePath,cert,json)
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(signer.LastErrorText)
    Return
