MakeVariantSignature

Sub MakeVariantSignature ( SourceData As Variant, SignMethod As SIGN_METHODS, Key As Variant [, Password As String] ) As String

The MakeVariantSignature function uniquely signs the content of the variant with the private key. Key must be valid loaded private key. SignMethod can be one of the following:

Symbolic value Numeric value Description
SIGN_RSAMD5 0 Performs MD5-RSA signature method
SIGN_RSASHA1 1 Performs SHA1-RSA signature method

Parameter Password is currently ignored and reserved for future use.

 If an error happens, the return value is 0 and the Error property of the ActiveCrypt component differs from ERR_OK. Analyzing this property you can find the reason of the failure.
