-- See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

-- First load the .p7s file into a BinData object..

-- Assuming this is a signature that contains the original data that was signed..

if not success then
    print(crypt.last_error_text)
    return

-- Examine the last JSON data after signature verification..

-- Sample output...
