Workaround for the deprecated Crypt2.SignBytes method

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

require 'chilkat'

success = false

crypt = Chilkat::CkCrypt2.new()

cert = Chilkat::CkCert.new()
# ...
# Load the cert from a source such as a .pfx/.p12 file, smart card, USB token, Apple keychain, Windows certificate store, etc.
# 
success = crypt.SetSigningCert(cert)

crypt.put_HashAlgorithm("sha256")

path = "c:/someDir/example.dat"

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The SignBytes method is deprecated:

inData = Chilkat::CkByteData.new()
inData.loadFile(path)

outData = Chilkat::CkByteData.new()

success = crypt.SignBytes(inData,outData)

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

bdIn = Chilkat::CkBinData.new()
bdIn.LoadFile(path)

crypt.put_EncodingMode("base64")
base64_sig = crypt.signBdENC(bdIn)

# If you want to access the bytes...
bdSig = Chilkat::CkBinData.new()
bdSig.AppendEncoded(base64_sig,"base64")
