Visual FoxPro Requires Chilkat v11.7.0+

Authenticode Sign a PowerShell Script (.ps1, .psm1, .psd1)

See more Code Signing Examples

Demonstrates how to Authenticode sign a PowerShell script. PowerShell scripts (.ps1), modules (.psm1) and data files (.psd1) can be signed starting in Chilkat v11.7.0. The signature is appended to the file as a comment block, and the file keeps its text encoding.

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

*  Signing PowerShell files requires Chilkat v11.7.0 or later.
*  The same code signs a script (.ps1), a module (.psm1), or a data file (.psd1).

*  Load the code signing certificate.  It must have access to its private key.

IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN

    RELEASE loCert
    CANCEL
ENDIF

*  Sign with SHA256, and ask a timestamp authority for a timestamp.  A timestamp lets the
*  signature continue to validate after the code signing certificate has expired.

*  The script is modified in place.  The signature is appended to the end of the file as a comment block:
*  
*    # SIG # Begin signature block
*    # MIIoKgYJKoZIhvcNAQcCoIIoGzCCKBcCAQExDzANBglghkgBZQMEAgEFADB5Bgor
*    # ...
*    # SIG # End signature block
*  
*  The text encoding of the file (UTF-8, UTF-8 with BOM, or UTF-16) is kept.
*  If the script is already signed, the new signature block replaces the existing one.

? "Signed the PowerShell script."

*  Verify the signature that was just added.
*  Any change made to the script after it is signed, even to a comment, invalidates the signature.
