(Xojo Plugin) RSASSA-PSS Sign Text

Signs text to create a PKCS7/CMS signature. The signature algorithm is RSASSA-PSS with SHA256.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.67 or greater.

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

// Get the certificate to be used for signing.
// (The typical case for a PFX is that it contains a cert with an associated private key,
// as well as other certificates in the chain of authentication.  The cert with the private
// key should be in the first position at index 0.)
