SAML Signature Validation

See more XML Digital Signatures Examples

A SAML Signature is an XML Digital Signature (XMLDSig) just like any other XML digital signature. It can be verified by using Chilkat' XmlDSig class, as shown in this example. Dart

import 'package:chilkat/chilkat.dart';

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

  final dsig = CkXmlDSig();
  dsig.loadSignature('XML xml signature goes here...');

  // A sample SAML signature is shown below..

  final numSignatures = dsig.numSignatures;
  var i = 0;
  while (i < numSignatures) {
    dsig.selector = i;

    final bVerifyRefDigests = false;
    try {
      dsig.verifySignature(bVerifyRefDigests);
      print('Signature ${i + 1} verified');
    } on ChilkatException {
      print('Signature ${i + 1} invalid');
    }

    // Check each of the reference digests separately..
    final numRefDigests = dsig.numReferences;
    var j = 0;
    while (j < numRefDigests) {
      final bDigestVerified = dsig.verifyReferenceDigest(j);
      print('reference digest ${j + 1} verified = $bDigestVerified');
      if (!bDigestVerified) {
        print('    reference digest fail reason: ${dsig.refFailReason}');
      }

      j++;
    }

    i++;
  }
