React Native Requires Chilkat v10.1.2+

Sign a File to Create a .p7m File (using a PFX)

See more Encryption Examples

_LANGUAGE_ example to sign a file creating a .p7m file as output. The .p7m contains the signed contents of the original file. It can be verified and restored by calling VerifyP7M. React Native

import { Cert, CertStore, Crypt2, JsonObject } from '@chilkat/react-native'

async function chilkatExample() {
  // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  const crypt = new Crypt2();

  // Use a digital certificate and private key from a PFX file (.pfx or .p12).
  const signingCertSubject = 'Acme Inc';
  const pfxFilename = '/Users/chilkat/testData/pfx/acme.pfx';
  const pfxPassword = 'test123';

  const certStore = new CertStore();

  jsonCN.updateString('CN', signingCertSubject);

  const cert = new Cert();
  try {
    certStore.findCert(jsonCN, cert);
  } catch {
    console.log('Failed to find certificate by subject common name.');
    return;

  // Tell the crypt component to use this cert.

  // We can sign any type of file, creating a .p7m as output:
