Verify XML Signature with External Data Reference

See more XML Digital Signatures Examples

Demonstrates how to verify 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.

//  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.
