Authenticode Sign using Smartcard or USB Token

See more Code Signing Examples

Demonstrates how to Authenticode sign an EXE or DLL using a smartcard or USB token, such as a Yubikey.

Note: Chilkat's code signing class was added in v9.5.0.97

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

// First create the following JSON to specify that SHA256 is to be used,
// and provide timestamp server information.

// {
//   "hashAlg": "sha256",
//   "timestampToken": {
//     "enabled": true,
//     "tsaUrl": "http://timestamp.digicert.com",
//     "requestTsaCert": true,
//     "hashAlg": "sha256"
//   }
// }

let json = chilkat::JsonObject::new();
let _ = json.update_string("hashAlg", "sha256");
let _ = json.update_bool("timestampToken.enabled", true);
let _ = json.update_string("timestampToken.tsaUrl", "http://timestamp.digicert.com");
let _ = json.update_bool("timestampToken.requestTsaCert", true);
let _ = json.update_string("timestampToken.hashAlg", "sha256");

// The only difference in signing with a smartcard or USB token
// is that the cert is loaded from a smartcard or USB token, instead of a PFX or from elsewhere
// such as from the Windows certificate store.
let cert = chilkat::Cert::new();

// Yubico YubiKey OTP+FIDO+CCID 0, default PIN = 123456
cert.set_smart_card_pin("123456");

// Assuming you have the Yubikey inserted into the USB on the computer...
// and there is only 1 signing certificate on the Yubikey, then just load from
// the "smartcard".  (assuming you don't have additional smartcards or USB tokens plugged in)
if cert.load_from_smartcard("").is_err() {
    println!("{}", cert.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// If the smartcard/token has several possible certificates that can be used for signing,
// then see the online documentation for the LoadFromSmartcard method,
// and also see the online documentation and examples for Chilkat Pkcs11 and ScMinidriver.
// There are many possible ways to load a Chilkat certificate object with a cert (and associated private key)
// from a variety of sources.  The only coding difference for any signing function in Chilkat,
// whether it be a PDF, XmlDSig, CMS, etc. is in how the cert is loaded.

// You can sign .exe or .dll files.
let exe_path = "C:/someOtherDir/HelloWorld.exe".to_string();

let signer = chilkat::CodeSign::new();

// If successful, the following call will apply the signature to the EXE (or DLL).
if signer.add_signature(&exe_path, &cert, &json).is_err() {
    println!("{}", signer.last_error_text());
    return;
}

println!("Successfully applied the Authenticode signature.");
