(Excel) Create XML Signature with KeyInfo / X509Data / X509Certificate

This example demonstrates how to create 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.

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

' To begin, we'll need a PFX containing a certificate and private key, and the SOAP XML to be signed.
' Chilkat provides sample data at chilkatsoft.com and chilkatdownload.com, and our first step is to download.

' -------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Step 1: Get the SOAP XML to be signed.
' 
Dim sbXml As Chilkat.StringBuilder
Set sbXml = Chilkat.NewStringBuilder

Dim http As Chilkat.Http
Set http = Chilkat.NewHttp

success = http.QuickGetSb("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/soapToSign.xml",sbXml)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.Print http.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' The SOAP XML contains this:

' <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
' <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
'     <SOAP-ENV:Header>
'         <wsse:Security xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd" SOAP-ENV:mustUnderstand="1"></wsse:Security>
'     </SOAP-ENV:Header>
'     <SOAP-ENV:Body xmlns:SOAP-SEC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/security/2000-12" SOAP-SEC:id="Body">
'         <z:FooBar xmlns:z="http://example.com" />
'     </SOAP-ENV:Body>
' </SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

' -------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Step 2: Get the test certificate and private key stored in a .pfx
' 
Dim pfxData As Chilkat.BinData
Set pfxData = Chilkat.NewBinData
success = http.QuickGetBd("https://chilkatdownload.com/example_data/testcertificate.pfx",pfxData)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.Print http.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

Dim pfx As Chilkat.Pfx
Set pfx = Chilkat.NewPfx

password = "test"
success = pfx.LoadPfxEncoded(pfxData.GetEncoded("base64"),"base64",password)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.Print pfx.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' -------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Step 3: Get the certificate from the PFX.
' 

Set cert = pfx.GetCert(0)
If (pfx.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    Debug.Print pfx.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' Prepare for signing...
Dim gen As Chilkat.XmlDSigGen
Set gen = Chilkat.NewXmlDSigGen

' Indicate where the Signature will be inserted.
gen.SigLocation = "SOAP-ENV:Envelope|SOAP-ENV:Header|wsse:Security"

' Add a reference to the fragment of the XML to be signed.

' Note: "Body" refers to the XML element having an "id" equal to "Body", where "id" is case insensitive
' and where any namespace might qualify the attribute.  In this case, the SOAP-ENV:Body fragment is signed
' NOT because the tag = "Body", but because it has SOAP-SEC:id="Body"
Dim success As Boolean
success = gen.AddSameDocRef("Body","sha1","EXCL_C14N","","")

' (You can read about the SignedInfoPrefixList in the online reference documentation.  It's optional..)
gen.SignedInfoPrefixList = "wsse SOAP-ENV"

' Provide the private key for signing via the certificate, and indicate that
' we want the base64 of the certificate embedded in the KeyInfo.
gen.KeyInfoType = "X509Data"
gen.X509Type = "Certificate"

' Note: Because our certificate was loaded from a PFX which also contained the private key,
' Chilkat automatically knows and has the private key associated with the certificate.
' We set bUsePrivateKey to tell the SetX509Cert method to automatically use the private key
' associated with the certificate for signing.  If, for example, we obtained the certificate
' by loading from a .cer file, then we would not already have the associated private key.
' In that case, the application could explicitly load the cert's private key from some
' other source, such as a .key, .pem, etc. and then call gen.SetPrivateKey.

bUsePrivateKey = True
success = gen.SetX509Cert(cert,bUsePrivateKey)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.Print gen.LastErrorText

    Exit Sub
End If

' Everything's specified.  Now create and insert the Signature
success = gen.CreateXmlDSigSb(sbXml)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.Print gen.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' Examine the XML with the digital signature inserted
Debug.Print sbXml.GetAsString()

' Here is the actual output.  A pretty-printed version of the output is shown below, but the addition of whitespace
' in the XML invalidates the signature.
