Serialize a PFX to BinData

See more PFX/P12 Examples

Demonstrates Pfx.ToBd, which serializes the current PFX contents as PKCS#12 data into a BinData object, using the supplied output password.

Background. This is the in-memory equivalent of ToFile, producing the PKCS#12 bytes for further processing or transport.
