sign Method
Signs the XML.
Syntax
def sign() -> None: ...
Remarks
This methods signs the XML.
Before calling on_sign specify the XML to sign by setting input_file, or input_xml.
The Reference* properties must be set. At least one reference must be set. A reference defines the XML element to sign, and the options that specify how it is transformed and hashed during the signing process.
Set certificate to a certificate with private key.
Optionally set the canonicalization_method. This determines how the signature itself is canonicalized. signing_algorithm defines the algorithm used to sign. The signature_x_path property may be set to specify the location in the XML document where the signature will be placed.
Lastly, call on_sign to sign the XML.
The following properties are applicable when calling this method:
- canonicalization_method
- certificate (required)
- Reference* (required)
- signature_x_path
- signing_algorithm
Input and Output Properties
The class will determine the source and destination of the input and output based on which properties are set.
The order in which the input properties are checked is as follows:
When a valid source is found the search stops. The order in which the output properties are checked is as follows:- output_file
- output_xml: The output data is written to this property if no other destination is specified.
