Verify XML Signature having KeyInfo / X509Data / X509Certificate

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 X509Certificate element which contains the base64-encoded certificate.

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

// The SOAP XML with digital signature verified in this example is available at 
// https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/sigWithX509Certificate.xml

$signedSoapXmlUrl = 'https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/sigWithX509Certificate.xml';

// First, let's get the signed SOAP XML..

$success = $http->QuickGetSb($signedSoapXmlUrl,$sbXml);

// The signed XML downloaded from the above URL contains the following.
// Note: Everything we need to verify the signature is already available within the signed XML.
// The KeyInfo part of the Signature contains the X.509 certificate in base64 format,
// and the public key used to verify the signature is contained within the X.509.
// Chilkat automatically fetches and uses the public key from the base64 certificate.
