Create XML Signature with KeyInfo / X509Data / X509SKI

See more XML Digital Signatures Examples

This example demonstrates how to create an XML Digital Signature where the KeyInfo element contains an X509Data element,
which in turn contains an X509SKI element which contains only the signing certificate's Subject Key Identifier.

// by loading from a .cer file, then we would not already have the associated private key.
