Italian FatturaPA (e-Invoice) Signed XML (CADES-BES P7M) using a USB Smart Card

(Chilkat is going to begin posting about the ongoing work with customers involving smart cards and tokens used for signing PDFs and XML invoices, etc.)

The links below are to examples that create a .p7m signature for an Italian e-Invoice (FatturaPA) using a private key stored on a smart card.

It duplicates the following OpenSSL command:

openssl cms -nosmimecap -md sha256 -nodetach -binary -cades -stream \
-outform DER -sign -signer certificato.pem \
-inkey 12345678 -keyform engine -in $1 -out $1.p7m -engine pkcs11

The card used to test is a Bit4id smart card using PKCS11 via bit4xpki.dll

Note: Chilkat has made several fixes and improvements for handling Bit4id smart cards in the last few versions. If you are using an older version of Chilkat, it’s best to update to the latest version. In general, improved support for various smart cards and tokens to avoid common problems is an ongoing effort.
