Add a Detached Signature with a Separate Private Key

See more MIME Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat Mime.AddDetachedSignaturePk method, which creates a detached signature using a signer certificate and its separately supplied private key. The first argument is the Cert and the second is the PrivateKey.

Note: The file paths are relative to the application's current working directory. Absolute paths may also be used. Supply the paths appropriate to your own environment.
