(C# UWP/WinRT) PKCS11 Sign PDF using Certificate and Private Key on Smart Card / USB Token

See more PKCS11 Examples

Sample code showing how to use PKCS11 to sign a PDF with a certificate and private key stored on a smart card or USB token.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.88 or later.

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

// Note: Chilkat's PKCS11 implementation runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and other supported operating systems.

Chilkat.Pkcs11 pkcs11 = new Chilkat.Pkcs11();

// This example is tested on Windows using a Giesecke and Devrient Sm@rtCafe Expert 3.2 smart card.
