(Swift 3,4,5...) Verify Opaque Signature and Retrieve Signing Certificates

Demonstrates how to verify a PCKS7 opaque digital signature (signed data), extract the original file/data, and then extract the certificate(s) that were used to sign.

    let crypt = CkoCrypt2()!

    // Verify a PKCS7 signed-data (opaque signature) file and extract the original content to a file.
    var success: Bool = crypt.verifyP7M("qa_data/p7m/opaqueSig.p7", destPath: "qa_output/originalData.dat")
    if success != true {
        print("\(crypt.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Alternatively, we can do it in memory...
    let binData = CkoBinData()!
    success = binData.loadFile("qa_data/p7m/opaqueSig.p7")
    // Your app should check for success, but we'll skip the check for brevity..

    // If verified, the signature is unwrapped and binData is replaced with the original data that was signed.
    success = crypt.opaqueVerifyBd(binData)
    if success != true {
        print("\(crypt.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // For our testing, we signed some text, so we can get it from the binData..
    print("Original Data:")
    print("\(binData.getString("utf-8")!)")

    // After any method call that verifies a signature, the crypt object will contain the certificate(s)
    // that were used for signing (assuming the X.509 certs were available in the signature, which is typically the case).

    // Get the number of signing certificates, and get each..
    var numCerts: Int = crypt.numSignerCerts.intValue
    var i: Int = 0
    while i < numCerts {
        var cert: CkoCert? = crypt.getSignerCert(i)
        print("\(cert!.subjectDN!)")
        cert = nil
        i = i + 1
    }

    // We could also get the complete certificate chain of each signer cert,
    // assuming the certs in the chain of authentication to the trusted root
    // are available on the system, or provided to Chilkat by some other means
    // (such as via the XmlCertVault class, the TrustedRoots class, etc.)
    i = 0
    while i < numCerts {
        var certChain: CkoCertChain? = crypt.getSignerCertChain(i)
        // You can examine the various properties and methods for certChain in the online
        // reference documentation...
        certChain = nil
        i = i + 1
