(Unicode C++) Create CAdES p7m using AWS KMS to Sign in the Cloud

See more Signing in the Cloud Examples

Demonstrates how to create a CAdES p7m, using AWS KMS. The signing of the hash happens in the Cloud on AWS KMS. Everything else regarding the creation of CAdES happens locally within Chilkat.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.96 or greater.
