(VB.NET UWP/WinRT) Verify XML Signature having KeyInfo / X509Data / X509Certificate

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.

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

Dim signedSoapXmlUrl As String = "https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/sigWithX509Certificate.xml"

' First, let's get the signed SOAP XML..
Dim http As New Chilkat.Http
Dim sbXml As New Chilkat.StringBuilder
Dim success As Boolean = Await http.QuickGetSbAsync(signedSoapXmlUrl,sbXml)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' 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.
