[xmlsec] "soft error" when calling xmlSecDSigValidate

[Meg Morgan]

What we decided to do is to create a hash of the data we REALLY want
signed, and put the hash into a nice little xml tree, and sign THAT.  That
way we can pluck out the signature from the document and call it "detached"
if we want to.

To check, we recalculate the hash of the original data, compare it with
what is in the signed document blob, then use the xmlsec functions to
check the signature against the public key.  In this way we can avoid
using URI references while still masking the content of our original
data.

Thanks again,
meg
