Add EncapsulatedTimestamp to Already-Signed XML

See more XML Digital Signatures Examples

Demonstrates how to add an EncapsulatedTimestamp to an existing XML signature.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.90 or greater.

C++

#include <CkStringBuilder.h>
#include <CkXmlDSig.h>
#include <CkJsonObject.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

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

    //  Note: We cannot load the already-signed XML into a Chilkat XML object because it would re-format the XML when re-emitted.
    //  (i.e. indentation and whitespace could change, and it would invalidate the existing signature.)
    //  We must use a StringBuilder.
    CkStringBuilder sbXml;
    success = sbXml.LoadFile("qa_data/xml_dsig_valid_samples/encapsulatedTimestamp_not_yet_added.xml","utf-8");

        std::cout << "Failed to load the XML file." << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

        return;
    }

        return;
    }

    CkJsonObject json;
    json.UpdateString("timestampToken.tsaUrl","http://timestamp.digicert.com");
    json.UpdateBool("timestampToken.requestTsaCert",true);

    //  Call AddEncapsulatedTimeStamp to add the EncapsulatedTimeStamp to the signature.
    //  Note: If the signed XML contains multiple signatures, the signature modified is the one 
    //  indicated by the dsig.Selector property.
    CkStringBuilder sbOut;
    success = dsig.AddEncapsulatedTimeStamp(json,sbOut);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << dsig.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    sbOut.WriteFile("qa_output/addedEncapsulatedTimeStamp.xml","utf-8",false);

    //  The EncapsulatedTimeStamp can be validated when validating the signature by adding the VerifyEncapsulatedTimeStamp
    //  keyword to UncommonOptions.  See here:

    //  ----------------------------------------
    //  Verify the signatures we just produced...
    CkXmlDSig verifier;
    success = verifier.LoadSignatureSb(sbOut);
    if (success != true) {
        std::cout << verifier.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    //  Add "VerifyEncapsulatedTimeStamp" to the UncommonOptions to also verify any EncapsulatedTimeStamps
    verifier.put_UncommonOptions("VerifyEncapsulatedTimeStamp");

    int numSigs = verifier.get_NumSignatures();
    int verifyIdx = 0;
    while (verifyIdx < numSigs) {
        verifier.put_Selector(verifyIdx);
        bool verified = verifier.VerifySignature(true);
        if (verified != true) {

            return;
        }

        verifyIdx = verifyIdx + 1;
