Verify a CAdES-BES Signature and Examine Signature Contents

See more Digital Signatures Examples

Demonstrates how to validate a .p7m (.p7s) signature and examine the contents of the signature. C#

bool success = false;

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

Chilkat.Crypt2 crypt = new Chilkat.Crypt2();

string outputFile = "qa_output/original.xml";
string inFile = "qa_data/p7m/fattura_signature.xml.p7m";

// Verify the signature and extract the contained file, which in this case is XML.
success = crypt.VerifyP7M(inFile,outputFile);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(crypt.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine("Signature validated.");

// Now let's examine the information about the signature.
Chilkat.JsonObject json = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
crypt.GetLastJsonData(json);

json.EmitCompact = false;
Debug.WriteLine(json.Emit());

// Here's an example of the information about the signature:
