Verify an enveloping signature using a X509 certificate

In this example, you verify the document (MyDocumentEnvelopingSignature.xml) signed with a DSA key.

The DSA key was created in Create an enveloping signature using a DSA key.

A X509 certificate ("DSACertificate.crt") can be used to verify the signed document. The certificate will contain the public key corresponding to the private key (DSAKey.pem) used to sign the document. You will need to generate this certificate first. The certificate can be created with the OpenSSL tool:
openssl req -x509 -new -key DSAKey.pem -out DSACertificate.crt
You can examine the contents of the certificate in plain text using:
openssl x509 -in DSACertificate.crt --text 
Copy the file "DSACertificate.crt" to a directory where you test the sample code.

All keys or certificates in PEM or DER format were created with the OpenSSL tool. For information on how the OpenSSL tool works, refer to the OpenSSL documentation.
