Signing with X509 certificate.: XML Security Library Reference Manual

## Signing with X509 certificate.

### sign3.c

    /**
     * XML Security Library example: Signing a file with a dynamicaly created template and an X509 certificate.
     *
     * Signs a file using a dynamicaly created template, key from PEM file and
     * an X509 certificate. The signature has one reference with one enveloped
     * transform to sign the whole document except the <dsig:Signature/> node
     * itself. The key certificate is written in the <dsig:X509Data/> node.
     *
     * This example was developed and tested with OpenSSL crypto library. The
     * certificates management policies for another crypto library may break it.
     *
     * Usage:
     *      sign3 <xml-doc> <pem-key>
     *
     * Example:
     *      ./sign3 sign3-doc.xml rsakey.pem rsacert.pem > sign3-res.xml
     *
     * The result signature could be validated using verify3 example:
     *      ./verify3 sign3-res.xml ca2cert.pem cacert.pem
     *
     * This is free software; see Copyright file in the source
     * distribution for preciese wording.
