Create XML Signature with External Data Reference

See more XML Digital Signatures Examples

Demonstrates how to create 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.

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

// This example inserts an XML signature in the following XML:

// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
// <abc>
//   <xyz>
//     <jpg>
//         <name>starfish.jpg</name>
//         <url>https://www.chilkatsoft.com/images/starfish.jpg</url>
//     </jpg>
//   </xyz>
// </abc>

// The above XML is available at https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/addSignatureToThis.xml
// First fetch the XML:

ls_Url = "https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/addSignatureToThis.xml"
loo_Http = create oleobject
li_rc = loo_Http.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.Http")

if li_Success <> 1 then
    Write-Debug loo_Http.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_Http
    destroy loo_SbXml
    return
end if

// We'll use an RSA private key for signing.

// Indicate were the Signature will be inserted:
loo_XmlSigGen.SigLocation = "abc|xyz|jpg"

// Provide the RSA key to be used for signing:
loo_XmlSigGen.SetPrivateKey(loo_RsaKey)

// Fetch the JPG image data.

    destroy loo_Http
    destroy loo_SbXml
    destroy loo_RsaKey
    destroy loo_XmlSigGen
    destroy loo_JpgData
    return
end if

// Add the external data reference:
loo_XmlSigGen.AddExternalBinaryRef(ls_JpgUrl,loo_JpgData,"sha256","")

// Create the XML digital signature:

    destroy loo_Http
    destroy loo_SbXml
    destroy loo_RsaKey
    destroy loo_XmlSigGen
    destroy loo_JpgData
    return
