XML-DSig and PKCS#12

Hello!

I need to sign a XML file. Format: www.w3.org.2000/09/xmldsig

The certificate is stored as "PKCS#12" (I think this is called "softtoken container" ! ).

Is everything I need for accessing the certificate and signing the XML inplemented in .NET 2.0 / VS 2005

Are there programming examples with SourceCode available for this


Best regards

    Hi,

    MSDN includes a sample that demonstrates how to sign an Xml instance with a certificate. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/ms229745.aspx

    You can use the class X509Certificate2 that is able to load a PFX file, by using the Import method.

    You will be able to save some of the unmanaged code by using the new X509 Certificate API.

    Hello Diego Gonzalez,

    thanks for your answer. Well, I know this page, it shows how it can be done with .NET 1.1.
    So I guess the "whole thing" is not implemented in .NET 2.0  And I still have to use unmanaged code ... SIGH !!

    Hi!

    I would like to bring this topic up again.

    Is there now a source code available that is using the new features of .NET 2.0 and C#2005
