Description

XML Digital Signature support.

Details

enum xmlSecDSigStatus

typedef enum {
    xmlSecDSigStatusUnknown = 0,
    xmlSecDSigStatusSucceeded,
    xmlSecDSigStatusInvalid
} xmlSecDSigStatus;

XML Digital signature processing status.

xmlSecDSigStatusUnknown

the status is unknow.

xmlSecDSigStatusSucceeded

the processing succeeded.

xmlSecDSigStatusInvalid

the processing failed.


XMLSEC_DSIG_FLAGS_IGNORE_MANIFESTS

#define XMLSEC_DSIG_FLAGS_IGNORE_MANIFESTS			0x00000001

If this flag is set then <dsig:Manifests/> nodes will not be processed.


XMLSEC_DSIG_FLAGS_STORE_SIGNEDINFO_REFERENCES

#define XMLSEC_DSIG_FLAGS_STORE_SIGNEDINFO_REFERENCES		0x00000002

If this flag is set then pre-digest buffer for <dsig:Reference/> child of <dsig:KeyInfo/> element will be stored in xmlSecDSigCtx.


XMLSEC_DSIG_FLAGS_STORE_MANIFEST_REFERENCES

#define XMLSEC_DSIG_FLAGS_STORE_MANIFEST_REFERENCES		0x00000004

If this flag is set then pre-digest buffer for <dsig:Reference/> child of <dsig:Manifest/> element will be stored in xmlSecDSigCtx.


XMLSEC_DSIG_FLAGS_STORE_SIGNATURE

#define XMLSEC_DSIG_FLAGS_STORE_SIGNATURE			0x00000008

If this flag is set then pre-signature buffer for <dsig:SignedInfo/> element processing will be stored in xmlSecDSigCtx.


XMLSEC_DSIG_FLAGS_USE_VISA3D_HACK

#define XMLSEC_DSIG_FLAGS_USE_VISA3D_HACK			0x00000010

If this flag is set then URI ID references are resolved directly without using XPointers. This allows one to sign/verify Visa3D documents that don't follow XML, XPointer and XML DSig specifications.

The Reference Element (http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/sec-Reference)

Reference is an element that may occur one or more times. It specifies a digest algorithm and digest value, and optionally an identifier of the object being signed, the type of the object, and/or a list of transforms to be applied prior to digesting. The identification (URI) and transforms describe how the digested content (i.e., the input to the digest method) was created. The Type attribute facilitates the processing of referenced data. For example, while this specification makes no requirements over external data, an application may wish to signal that the referent is a Manifest. An optional ID attribute permits a Reference to be referenced from elsewhere.

the pointer to <dsig:Reference/> element processing context.

node :

Returns :

0 on succes or aa negative value otherwise.
