(Excel) Create XML Signature with Certificate's Private Key

Demonstrates how to create an XML digital signature using a certificate's RSA private key. This example loads the certificate from a PFX, and uses the cert's associated private key to sign. The public key is embedded in the XML signature as a ds:KeyInfo / ds:KeyValue / dsRSAKeyValue element.

This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.71 or greater.

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

' The SOAP XML to be signed in this example contains the following:

' <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
' <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
'     <SOAP-ENV:Header>
'         <wsse:Security xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd" SOAP-ENV:mustUnderstand="1"></wsse:Security>
'     </SOAP-ENV:Header>
'     <SOAP-ENV:Body xmlns:SOAP-SEC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/security/2000-12" SOAP-SEC:id="Body">
'         <z:FooBar xmlns:z="http://example.com" />
'     </SOAP-ENV:Body>
' </SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
' 

' The above XML is available at https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/soapToSign.xml
' Fetch the XML and then sign it..


url = "https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/soapToSign.xml"
Dim http As Chilkat.Http
Set http = Chilkat.NewHttp
Dim sbSoapXml As Chilkat.StringBuilder
Set sbSoapXml = Chilkat.NewStringBuilder

success = http.QuickGetSb(url,sbSoapXml)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.Print http.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' Load a PFX file containing the certificate + private key.
Dim cert As Chilkat.Cert
Set cert = Chilkat.NewCert
success = cert.LoadPfxFile("/somedir/myPfx.pfx","pfx_password")
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.Print cert.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' Get the RSA private key for signing...

Set rsaKey = cert.ExportPrivateKey()
If (cert.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    Debug.Print cert.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' To create the XML digital signature (i.e. embed the signature within
' the SOAP XML), we specify what is desired, and then call the method to 
' create the XML signature.
' 
' For example, the application must provide the following:
'     - Where to put the signature.
'     - What to sign.
'     - The algorithms to be used.
'     - The key to be used for signing.
' 

Dim xmlSigGen As Chilkat.XmlDSigGen
Set xmlSigGen = Chilkat.NewXmlDSigGen

' In this example, we're going to put the signature within the wsse:Security element.
' To specify the location, set the SigLocation property to the XML path to this element,
' using vertical bar characters to separate tags.
xmlSigGen.SigLocation = "SOAP-ENV:Envelope|SOAP-ENV:Header|wsse:Security"

' An XML digital signature contains one or more references.  These are references to the parts
' of the XML document to be signed (a same document reference), or can be external references.
' This example will add a single same-document reference.  We'll add a reference to the XML fragment
' at SOAP-ENV:Body, which is indicated by providing the value of the "ID" attribute (where "ID" is case
' insensitive).  For each same-document reference, we must also indicate the hash algorithm and XML canonicalization
' algorithm to be used.  For this example we'll choose SHA-256 and Exclusive XML Canonicalization.
Dim success As Boolean
success = xmlSigGen.AddSameDocRef("Body","sha256","EXCL_C14N","","")

' Let's provide the RSA key to be used for signing:
success = xmlSigGen.SetPrivateKey(rsaKey)

' We're leaving the following properties at their default values:
' 
'    - SigNamespacePrefix (default is "ds")
'    - SigningAlg (for RSA keys. The default is PKCS1-v1_5, can be changed to RSASSA-PSS.)
'    - SignedInfoCanonAlg  (default is EXCL_C14N)
'    - SignedInfoDigestMethod (default is sha256)
'    - KeyInfoType (default is "KeyValue", where the RSA public key is included in the Signature)

' Note: Each Reference has it's own specified algorithms for XML canonicalization and hashing,
' and the actual signature part (the SignedInfo) has it's own algorithms for the same.
' They may or may not be the same.  In this example, we use Exclusive XML Canonicalization and SHA-256 throughout.

' Finally, we're going to set one property that's optional, but commonly used.
' It's the SignedInfoPrefixList.  In this case, we're using Exclusive Canonicalization, and the signature
' will be placed in a location within the XML document where namespace prefixes are used in the ancestors.
' Specifically, the "wsse" and "SOAP-ENV" namespace prefixes are used.
xmlSigGen.SignedInfoPrefixList = "wsse SOAP-ENV"

' OK, everything's specified, so let's create the XML digital signature:
' This in-place signs the XML.  If successful, sbSoapXml will contain the 
' XML with the digital signature at the specified location.
success = xmlSigGen.CreateXmlDSigSb(sbSoapXml)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.Print xmlSigGen.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' Examine the signed SOAP XML:
Debug.Print sbSoapXml.GetAsString()

' This is the signed SOAP XML.
' Chilkat emits the Signature in compact form on a single line.  Whitespace in XML signatures
' matters.  Chilkat's opinion is that writing the Signature without whitespace minimizes the chance
' for problems with whatever software might be verifying the signature.
