How to: Sign a Message by Multiple Signers 

This example creates a CMS/PKCS #7 signed message by using System.Security.Cryptography.Pkcs. The message is signed by multiple signers. The signatures on that message are then verified.

Example

This example uses the following classes:

The following example begins by using a previously generated encoded SignedCms message (signed by a signer with the subject name "MessageSigner1"), and then signs it a second time by a signer with the subject name "MessageSigner2". This example requires that a public key certificate with the subject name "MessageSigner2" be contained in the My certificate store, and that is has an associated private key.

NoteNote

This example is only for illustrative purposes. Production environments might use a different model in which the sender and the recipient of the message execute in different processes with their unique public key credentials.

Set up this example by using the Makecert.exe utility, one of several ways to do so. Certificate Creation Tool (Makecert.exe) is a convenient utility for generating test certificates. In a production environment, certificates are generated by a certification authority.

The following Makecert command generates the required public key certificates and private keys.

Makecert -n "CN=MessageSigner2" -ss My
