Chilkat2-Python

Verify XAdES with External File Reference

See more XML Digital Signatures Examples

Demonstrates how to validate an XML digital signature that contains a reference to an external file. (This is one way of doing it..) Chilkat2-Python

# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# Load the XAdES file to be validated..
