Ruby Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Workaround for the deprecated Crypt2.SignBytesENC method

Shows how to replace the deprecated SignBytesENC 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_EncodingMode("base64")
crypt.put_HashAlgorithm("sha256")

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

#  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  The SignBytesENC method is deprecated:

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

base64_sig = crypt.signBytesENC(inData)

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

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

base64_sig = crypt.signBdENC(bdIn)
