Lua Requires Chilkat v9.5.0.97+

Authenticode Sign an Executable (EXE) or DLL

See more Code Signing Examples

Demonstrates how to Authenticode sign an EXE or DLL. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

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

-- First create the following JSON to specify that SHA256 is to be used,
-- and provide timestamp server information.

-- {
--   "hashAlg": "sha256",
--   "timestampToken": {
--     "enabled": true,
--     "tsaUrl": "http://timestamp.digicert.com",
--     "requestTsaCert": true,
--     "hashAlg": "sha256"
--   }
-- }

local json = chilkat.JsonObject.new()
json:update_string("hashAlg", "sha256")
json:update_bool("timestampToken.enabled", true)
json:update_string("timestampToken.tsaUrl", "http://timestamp.digicert.com")
json:update_bool("timestampToken.requestTsaCert", true)
json:update_string("timestampToken.hashAlg", "sha256")

-- Load a code signing certificate..
local cert = chilkat.Cert.new()
local success = cert:load_pfx_file("C:/someDir/myCodeSigningCert.pfx", "pfx password")
if not success then
    print(cert.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- You can sign .exe or .dll files.
local exePath = "C:/someOtherDir/HelloWorld.exe"

local signer = chilkat.CodeSign.new()

-- If successful, the following call will apply the signature to the EXE (or DLL).
success = signer:add_signature(exePath, cert, json)
if not success then
    print(signer.last_error_text)
    return
end

print("Successfully applied the Authenticode signature.")
