(PowerShell) Sign String to create a CAdES-T Signature, using HTTP Proxy to Access Timestamp Server

This example will sign a string to create a CAdEST-T signature. It will use an HTTP proxy to access the timestamp server.

# settings can be used to access the Internet when signing.
# Access to the Internet is needed to communicate with the timestamp server.

# communicates with the TSA to get a timestampToken.
