Starting with the v10.0.0 release (end of September 2024), Chilkat moves to standard semantic versioning. Prior to this release, for various technical reasons, Chilkat was stuck with versions 9.5.0.xx, where only xx changed. For this first leap to semantic versioning, where the major version changes to 10 (from 9), there are no backward incompatible changes. […]
Chilkat v10.0.0 is able to create digital signatures for PDF, XmlDSig (XAdES), CAdES, S/MIME, etc. using the HSM (USB token or smartcard) connected to an iPhone. It’s just a matter of calling the certificate object’s LoadFromSmartcard function. You’ll also need to add the “com.apple.token” entitlement to your application. Here are some examples: Objective-C Sign PDF […]
Here are the initial steps to follow to determine the reason why LoadFromSmartcard failed. Make sure to set the Cert,SmartCardPin property prior to calling LoadFromSmartcard. Make sure you are using the very latest version of Chilkat. Chilkat’s internal intelligence regarding the options and choices to be made for different smartcard makes/models evolves with each new […]

To use Chilkat for signing XML with a CNS smartcard, the certificate must be installed on the Windows system. Chilkat uses the Microsoft CNG (Cryptographic Next Generation) to do the signing. If the CNS smartcard certificate is installed on Windows correctly, then CNG should automatically know to use the smartcard for signing. I cannot read […]
Question: I’m tried to produce a P7S file with the hash algorithm SHA-512, but the code always produces a signature with an SHA-1 hash for the data. If I’m selecting MD5 as hash algorithm it works fine. I’m using a Smartcard (D-Trust with Siemens Card OS 4.3) , ReinerSCT card reader and as Smartcard CSP […]
