(Objective-C) Verify XML Signature with External Data Reference

Demonstrates how to verify an XML digital signature where the data is external. In this case, the data is a JPG file.

This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.69 or greater.

#import <CkoHttp.h>
#import <CkoStringBuilder.h>
#import <CkoXmlDSig.h>
#import <CkoBinData.h>

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

// The XML containing the Signature to be verified contains the following:
// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
// <abc>
//   <xyz>
//     <jpg>
//         <name>starfish.jpg</name>
