I have a file that is signed with a certificate located here.
CrytoAPI has not worked out for me because of server differences in 2003 / 2008+, and different file inputs.
I am now considering using Crypto++ to get the job done.
Essentially, all I would like to do is extract the text information from this file, and others like it, and save it as XML. There are some bits in the XML that are marked as < encoded data but those sections are just base64 encoded, so before I can get to the XML envelope, I need to deal with the certificate thats obfuscating the plain text.
Anyone with experience in Crypto++ know how this is done?
With CrytoAPI, I was doing something like this :
byte[] fileContents = File.ReadAllBytes(outFileName);
var contentInfo = new ContentInfo(fileContents);
var signedCms = new SignedCms(contentInfo);
signedCms.Decode(fileContents);
signedCms.RemoveSignature(0);
byte[] outfileContent = signedCms.ContentInfo.Content;
