Signing a dynamicaly created template.

sign2.c

/**
 * XML Security Library example: Signing a file with a dynamicaly created template.
 *
 * Signs a file using a dynamicaly created template and key from PEM file.
 * The signature has one reference with one enveloped transform to sign
 * the whole document except the <dsig:Signature/> node itself.
 *
 * Usage:
 *      sign2 <xml-doc> <pem-key>
 *
 * Example:
 *      ./sign2 sign2-doc.xml rsakey.pem > sign2-res.xml
 *
 * The result signature could be validated using verify1 example:
 *      ./verify1 sign2-res.xml rsapub.pem
 *
 * This is free software; see Copyright file in the source
 * distribution for preciese wording.
