Create CMS (PKCS7) Detached MIME Signature

Demonstrates how to add a CMS detached signature to MIME. PowerShell

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$success = $false

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

$mime = New-Object Chilkat.Mime

# Load a certificate w/ private key for signing.
$cert = New-Object Chilkat.Cert
$success = $cert.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/pfx/ecc256_12345.p12","12345")
if ($success -ne $true) {
    $($cert.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

$("Cert: " + $cert.SubjectDN)

# Create a simple MIME message to be signed:
$mime.AddHeaderField("Subject","This is a test")
$mime.AddHeaderField("MyCustomHeader","abc123")
$mime.ContentType = "text/plain"
$mime.SetBody("This is a plain-text body.")

# Examine the MIME prior to signing:
$("--- MIME prior to signing ---")
$($mime.GetMime())

# The MIME prior to signing looks like this:

# Subject: This is a test
# MyCustomHeader: abc123
# Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed
# 
# This is a plain-text body.

# Use SHA256 as the hash algorithm in the CMS signature.
$mime.SigningHashAlg = "SHA256"

# Add a detached signature:
$success = $mime.AddDetachedSignature($cert)
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($mime.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# Examine the MIME with detached signature:
$("--- MIME with detached signature ---")
$($mime.GetMime())
