[xmlsec] Load hmac key for signature

[Monica Lau]

Hi,
 
I need to load the hmac key to sign the XML document.  I searched the mailing list, and I found the following question/response below.  However, I still have some questions that I'm unclear about:
 
(a)  I looked at this function: 
 
int xmlSecOpenSSLKeyDataHmacSet(xmlSecKeyDataPtr data, const xmlSecByte *buf, xmlSecSize bufSize);
 
The API documentation mentioned that data is the pointer to the HMAC key data and buf is the pointer to the key value.  I'm unclear about the difference between these two.  So, buf stores the HMAC key?  What is the xmlSecKeyDataPtr data?
 
>From the API documentation, xmlSecKeyData is the following structure.  What is this "xmlSecKeyDataId" value?  Do I need to set it?
 
struct xmlSecKeyData {
    xmlSecKeyDataId			id;
    void*				reserved0;
    void*				reserved1;
};
 
 
Thanks for your help,
Monica
