SignExternal Method

Signs the document using an external signing facility.

Syntax

public fun signExternal()

Remarks

Use this method to create an Authenticode signature using an external signing facility for the cryptographic computations. SignExternal delegates the low-level signing operation to an external, remote, or custom signing engine. This method is useful if the signature has to be made by a device accessible through a custom or non-standard signing interface.

When all preparations are done and hash is computed, the component fires ExternalSign event which allows to pass the hash value for signing.
