Create an Opaque Signature with a Separate Private Key

See more MIME Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat Mime.ConvertToSignedPk method, which creates an opaque signature using a signer certificate and its separately supplied private key. The first argument is the Cert and the second is the PrivateKey.

Note: The file paths are relative to the application's current working directory. Absolute paths may also be used. Supply the paths appropriate to your own environment.

var

begin

if (success = 0) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(mime.LastErrorText);
    Exit;
  end;
//  Load the certificate and its private key separately.

//  1st argument is the signer certificate and the 2nd is its private key.
