Sign String to create a CAdES-T Signature

See more CAdES Examples

This example will sign a string to create a CAdEST-T signature.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.78 or greater.

// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// pre-installed Windows certificates.

// A CAdES-T signature is one that includes a timestampToken created by an online TSA (time stamping authority).
// We must include the TSA's URL, as well as a few options to indicate what is desired.
// Except for the TSA URL, the options shown here are typically what you would need.

// communicates with the TSA to get a timestampToken.
// The contents of bd are signed and replaced with the CAdES-T signature (which embeds the original content).
