Perl Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Export Public Key from USB Token or Smartcard using the Apple Keychain

See more Apple Keychain Examples

Demonstrates how to export a public key from a USB token or smart card via the Apple Keychain. Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

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

$cert = chilkat::CkCert->new();

#  On MacOS and iOS, the LoadByCommonName function will search the Apple Keychain for the matching certificate.

#  A digital certificate's Common Name (CN) is a field in the certificate that specifies the name of the entity the 
#  certificate is issued to. It is often used to identify the domain name, hostname, or organization the certificate represents. 

#  For example:
#  - In an SSL/TLS certificate for a website, the CN typically contains the domain name (e.g., "www.example.com").
#  - For certificates representing individuals or organizations, the CN might include the person's name or the organization's name.

#  The CN is part of the certificate's Subject field and is crucial for verifying that the certificate corresponds 
#  to the intended entity, especially in SSL/TLS communications.

$success = $cert->LoadByCommonName("Test 2048 bit RSA");
