[xmlsec] XML digital signature enveloped

[Veiko.Sinivee@seb.se]

Hi!

Isn't it also possible to use a reference like:
<Reference URI="#<id-of-your-node>">
This would be a so called detached signature
even if the referenced node is in the same document.

By definition, enveloped transform returns the node set that contains
all the nodes in the document except the <dsig:Signature> subtree.
If you want to sign only a content of a particular node then you probably
need to use XPath transform instead. If you can achieve your goal
with template and xmlsec utility then imgrating to a dynamically
created templates is pretty straigthforward: just call correct functions
in correct order (and you always can dump the dynamically created
template to a file to verify that you are creating exactly what you want).

And there is no difference between missing and empty URI attribute
in the <dsig:Reference> element.
