Perl Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Workaround for the deprecated Crypt2.VerifyString method

Shows how to replace the deprecated VerifyString method. (Chilkat is moving away from the use of CkByteData.) Perl

use chilkat();

$crypt = chilkat::CkCrypt2->new();

#  Specifies how the original data bytes are converted to characters
$crypt->put_Charset("utf-8");

$originalText = "this is the string that was signed.";
$sigPath = "c:/someDir/example.p7s";

#  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  The OpaqueVerifyString method is deprecated:

$detachedSigBytes = chilkat::CkByteData->new();
$detachedSigBytes->loadFile($sigPath);

$verified = $crypt->VerifyString($originalText,$detachedSigBytes);

#  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  Workaround.
#  (Chilkat is moving away from using CkByteData)

$bdSig = chilkat::CkBinData->new();
$bdSig->LoadFile($sigPath);

$encoding = "base64";
$crypt->put_EncodingMode($encoding);
$verified = $crypt->VerifyStringENC($originalText,$bdSig->getEncoded($encoding));
