Verifying a signature with X509 certificates.


verify3.c

/** 
 * XML Security Library example: Verifying a file signed with X509 certificate
 *
 * Verifies a file signed with X509 certificate. 
 * 
 * This example was developed and tested with OpenSSL crypto library. The 
 * certificates management policies for another crypto library may break it.
 *
 * Usage: 
 *      verify3 <signed-file> <trusted-cert-pem-file1> [<trusted-cert-pem-file2> [...]]
 *
 * Example:
 *      ./verify3 sign3-res.xml rootcert.pem
 * 
 * This is free software; see Copyright file in the source
 * distribution for preciese wording.
