Canonicalize XML Fragment

See more XML Digital Signatures Examples

Demonstrates how to canonicalize a fragment of an XML document. The fragment is identified by the element having an Id attribute equal to a specified value. (The Id attribute can have any namespace, and the attribute name is case-insensitive (thus "ID", "Id", "id", etc. match).
