Create CAdES-T Signature using Aruba TSA Server (servizi.arubapec.it)

See more CAdES Examples

Demonstrates how to create a signature with an external timestamp (using the Aruba TSA Server) that certifies the time of signing.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.79 or greater.

VBScript

Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

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

set crypt = CreateObject("Chilkat.Crypt2")

' This example will use a certificate + private key from a .pfx/.p12 file.
' On Windows systems, it is also possible to use certs on smartcards/usb tokens or certs pre-installed in the Windows registry.

    outFile.WriteLine(cert.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit

' Use SHA-256 rather than the default of SHA-1

' A CAdES-T signature is one that includes a timestampToken created by an online TSA (time stamping authority).
' We must include the TSA's URL, as well as a few options to indicate what is desired.

success = attrs.UpdateString("timestampToken.tsaUrl","https://servizi.arubapec.it/tsa/ngrequest.php")

' The tsaUsername/tsaPassword feature was added in Chilkat v9.5.0.79.
' Make sure you are using a version of Chilkat that is no older than v9.5.0.79
success = attrs.UpdateString("timestampToken.tsaUsername","arubaTsaUsername")

' communicates with the TSA to get a timestampToken.
