Verify Multiple Signatures in XML
See more XML Digital Signatures Examples
Demonstrates how to verify multiple signatures within a single XML document.Chilkat PHP Downloads
<?php
use Chilkat2\Http;
use Chilkat2\StringBuilder;
use Chilkat2\XmlDSig;
// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.
// A sample XML file containing multiple signatures is available at:
// https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/document.signed.bes.cs.xml
$http = new Http();
$sbXml = new StringBuilder();
try {
$http->QuickGetSb('https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/document.signed.bes.cs.xml', $sbXml);
// Load the XML containing the signature to be verified.
$verifier = new XmlDSig();
$verifier->LoadSignatureSb($sbXml);
} catch (\Chilkat2\Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage(), "\n";
exit;
}
// How many Signatures exist in this XML?
echo 'Number of XML signatures = ', $verifier->NumSignatures, "\n";
// Let's show the XML nicely indented, so we can make sense of it.
// Loading the XML into an XML parser and re-emitting with nice formatting
// changes whitespace that breaks the signatures. We're only doing this
// for the example to examine this XML, which contains 2 ds:Signature's
// and each signature has multiple references.
// This is what we have:

// When I look at the complicated XML above, there are specific things I look at to get a handle
// on the situation.
//
// 1) Does the signature already embed the public keys required for verification?
// Within each <ds:Signature>, look for the <ds:KeyInfo>. In this case, I can see that
// each signature contains the full X.509 certificate needed to verify (<ds:KeyInfo><ds:X509Data><ds:X509Certificate>).
// This means that Chilkat will automatically use the public keys contained within the base64 certificates
// already present in the signature.
//
// 2) Look at each <ds:Reference> within each <ds:Signature>. Do the URI attribute values begin with "#"?
// If so, then these are same-document references, and there's no need to explicitly fetch external data for reference verification.
// Chilkat can automatically validate each same-document Reference.
//
// So it turns out that this seemingly formidable XML document is easy to verify...
// Here we go...

// If VerifySignature is called when Selector = 1, then the 2nd signature is verified, and so on.
