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:

Local $sUrl = "https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/addSignatureToThis.xml"
$oHttp = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Http")
$oSbXml = ObjCreate("Chilkat.StringBuilder")
$bSuccess = $oHttp.QuickGetSb($sUrl,$oSbXml)
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oHttp.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; We'll use an RSA private key for signing.  
$oRsaKey = ObjCreate("Chilkat.PrivateKey")
$bSuccess = $oRsaKey.LoadPemFile("qa_data/rsa/rsaPrivKey_pkcs8.pem")
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oRsaKey.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

$oXmlSigGen = ObjCreate("Chilkat.XmlDSigGen")

; Indicate were the Signature will be inserted:
$oXmlSigGen.SigLocation = "abc|xyz|jpg"

; Provide the RSA key to be used for signing:
$oXmlSigGen.SetPrivateKey($oRsaKey)

; Fetch the JPG image data.
Local $sJpgUrl = "https://www.chilkatsoft.com/images/starfish.jpg"
$oJpgData = ObjCreate("Chilkat.BinData")
$bSuccess = $oHttp.QuickGetBd($sJpgUrl,$oJpgData)
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oHttp.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; Add the external data reference:
$oXmlSigGen.AddExternalBinaryRef($sJpgUrl,$oJpgData,"sha256","")

; Create the XML digital signature:
$bSuccess = $oXmlSigGen.CreateXmlDSigSb($oSbXml)
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oXmlSigGen.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; Examine the XML that now contains the Signature:
ConsoleWrite($oSbXml.GetAsString() & @CRLF)

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

;   <xyz>
