Verify XML Signature having KeyInfo / X509Data / X509SKI

See more XML Digital Signatures Examples

This example demonstrates how to verify an XML Digital Signature where the KeyInfo element contains an X509Data element,
which in turn contains an X509SKI element which contains only the signing certificate's Subject Key Identifier (SKI).

    // Note: We don't have everything we need to verify the signature.
    // The KeyInfo part of the Signature contains only the signing cert's Subject Key Identifier.  
    // We must obtain the certificate locally using this information.  
    // 
    // On a Windows system, if the matching certificate is already installed in the registry-based
    // certificate stores, then your application does not need to do anything.  Chilkat will automatically
    // locate and use the matching certificate installed on the Windows system.
    // 
    // This example will assume we're not on a Windows system, or that the matching certificate
    // is not already installed on the system.
    // 

    // One strategy for providing certificates to the application doing the XML signature verification 
    // is to load all possible certificates into an in-memory XmlCertVault beforehand, and then call
    // UseCertVault to allow for Chilkat to automatically find the matching cert from the pre-loaded certificates.
    // We'll do that here with the one certificate that we already know is the matching certificate.
