(VB.NET UWP/WinRT) Create XML Digital Signature using a DSA Key

Demonstrates how to create an XML digital signature using a DSA key.

This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.69 or greater.

Chilkat Universal Windows Platform (UWP) / WinRT Downloads

Chilkat for the Universal Windows Platform (UWP)

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

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

' <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
' <Envelope>
'   <Header>
'     <Security>
'     </Security>
'   </Header>
'   <Body Id="abc">
'     <z:FooBar xmlns:z="https://www.example-code.com"/>
'   </Body>
' </Envelope>


' The above XML is available at https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/xmlToSign.xml
' Fetch the XML and then sign it..

Dim url As String = "https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/xmlToSign.xml"
Dim http As New Chilkat.Http
Dim sbXml As New Chilkat.StringBuilder
Dim success As Boolean = Await http.QuickGetSbAsync(url,sbXml)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' This example uses a DSA private key for signing.  
' There are many ways of getting an DSA private key using Chilkat.  This example
' will load it from an encrypted PEM file.

' In case you would like to use it, I put the DSA private key PEM file here:
' https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/dsa1024_secret.zip
' The password is "secret".
Dim dsaKey As New Chilkat.PrivateKey
success = dsaKey.LoadEncryptedPemFile("qa_data/dsa/dsa1024_secret.pem","secret")
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(dsaKey.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' To create the XML digital signature (i.e. embed the signature within
' the XML), first specify what is desired, then call the method to 
' create the XML signature.
' 
' For example, the application must provide the following:
'     - Where to put the signature.
'     - What to sign.
'     - The algorithms to be used.
'     - The key to be used for signing.
' 

Dim xmlSigGen As New Chilkat.XmlDSigGen

' In this example, we're going to put the signature within the Security element.
' To specify the location, set the SigLocation property to the XML path to this element,
' using vertical bar characters to separate tags.
xmlSigGen.SigLocation = "Envelope|Header|Security"

' An XML digital signature contains one or more references.  These can be references to the parts
' of the XML document to be signed (a same document reference), or can be external references.
' This example will add a single same-document reference.  We'll add a reference to the XML fragment
' at Body, which is indicated by providing the value of the "ID" attribute (where "ID" is case
' insensitive).  In this case, we specify "abc" because Body has an Id="abc".
' This causes the <Body> ... </Body> XML fragment to be signed.
' 
' For each same-document reference, we must also indicate the hash algorithm and XML canonicalization
' algorithm to be used.  For this example we'll choose SHA1 and Exclusive XML Canonicalization.
xmlSigGen.AddSameDocRef("abc","sha1","EXCL_C14N","","")

' Provide the DSA key to be used for signing:
xmlSigGen.SetPrivateKey(dsaKey)

' We're leaving the following properties at their default values:
' 
'    - SigNamespacePrefix (default is "ds")
'    - SignedInfoCanonAlg  (default is EXCL_C14N)
'    - KeyInfoType (default is "KeyValue", where the DSA public key is included in the Signature)

' Note: Each Reference has it's own specified algorithms for XML canonicalization and hashing,
' and the actual signature part (the SignedInfo) has it's own hash/canonicalization algorithm.
' They may or may not be the same.  In this example, we use Exclusive XML Canonicalization and SHA1 throughout.

' The default SignedInfoDigestMethod is sha256, which is a good choice.  This example will
' change it to sha1.
xmlSigGen.SignedInfoDigestMethod = "sha1"


' OK, everything's specified, so let's create the XML digital signature:
' This in-place signs the XML.  If successful, sbXml will contain the 
' XML with the digital signature at the specified location.
success = xmlSigGen.CreateXmlDSigSb(sbXml)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(xmlSigGen.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Examine the signed XML:
Debug.WriteLine(sbXml.GetAsString())


' Below is the signed XML that is produced.
' Chilkat emits the Signature in compact form on a single line.  Whitespace in XML signatures
' matters.  Chilkat's opinion is that writing the Signature without whitespace minimizes the chance
' for problems with whatever software might be verifying the signature.

' <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
