(PHP ActiveX) Verify XML Digital Signature having KeyName

Demonstrates how to verify an XML digital signature where the KeyInfo part contains the KeyName element.
In this case, the public key is not specifically stored in the signed XML.
Rather, application specific information about the key is stored in the KeyName element.
This example uses the KeyName to find and matching public key.

This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.69 or greater.

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

// The signed XML to be verified in this example contains the following:

// The above XML is available at https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/signedUsingKeyName.xml
// First we'll fetch the signed XML:

$url = 'https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/signedUsingKeyName.xml';
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Http')
$http = new COM("Chilkat.Http");
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.StringBuilder')
$sbXml = new COM("Chilkat.StringBuilder");
$success = $http->QuickGetSb($url,$sbXml);
if ($success != 1) {
    print $http->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.XmlDSig')
$verifier = new COM("Chilkat.XmlDSig");

// Load the XML containing the signature to be verified.
$success = $verifier->LoadSignatureSb($sbXml);
if ($success != 1) {
    print $verifier->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// (The Chilkat XML Digital Signature API has the capability to handle XML documents with multiple signatures.
// We know in advance that this signed XML has just one Signature, so we leave the dsig.Selector property at the
// default value of 0.)

// Let's get the KeyInfo XML so we can then get the KeyName.
// xmlKeyInfo is a Chilkat.Xml
$xmlKeyInfo = $verifier->GetKeyInfo();
if ($verifier->LastMethodSuccess == 0) {
    print 'There is no KeyInfo available in the Signature.' . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Examine the XML:
print $xmlKeyInfo->getXml() . "\n";

// The KeyInfo XML that is returned looks like this:
// 
// 	<ds:KeyInfo>
// 	    <ds:KeyName>dsaKey_123</ds:KeyName>
// 	</ds:KeyInfo>
// 

// Get the KeyName.
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.StringBuilder')
$sbKeyName = new COM("Chilkat.StringBuilder");
$sbKeyName->Append($xmlKeyInfo->getChildContent('*:KeyName'));

// sbKeyName contains "dsaKey_123"
print $sbKeyName->getAsString() . "\n";

// The application now locates and loads the public key for verification
// based on the key name.  This example will do the following:
// If the key name equals "dsaKey_123", then load the DSA key from
// "qa_data/dsa/dsa1024_public.pem"
// 

if ($sbKeyName->ContentsEqual('dsaKey_123',0) == 0) {
    print 'I don't know this key...' . "\n";
    exit;
}

// The DSA public key used in this example is available at:
// https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/dsa1024_public.zip
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.PublicKey')
$pubKey = new COM("Chilkat.PublicKey");
$success = $pubKey->LoadFromFile('qa_data/dsa/dsa1024_public.pem');
if ($success != 1) {
    print $pubKey->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Provide the DSA public key to the XML DSig verifier:
$verifier->SetPublicKey($pubKey);

// Verify the signature
$bVerified = $verifier->VerifySignature(1);
print 'Signature verified = ' . $bVerified . "\n";
