Create an Enveloping Signature

In an enveloping signature, the <ds:Signature> element contains signed or to-be-signed data as a child of the <ds:Object> element. To create an enveloping signature, follow these steps:

1. Create a new XmlSignature object.
2. Add a <ds:Object> node to the signature object.
3. Add the data to the object.
4. Call the CreateSignature method.

' The following certificate will be used for signing
signingCert="CERT_FIND_SUBJECT_STR=CREA_TESTUSER_1"

' Create an xml signature object
Set cs = CreateObject("CreaSignClientIE.XmlSignature")

' Add an object with some data
cs.AddObject "myObject","This text will be signed" 

' Add reference to the object
cs.AddReference "","#myObject", ""

' Create a signature
cs.CreateSignature signingCert,0

' Save the result to a file
saveTo="files/signedEnveloping.xml"
if WScript.Arguments.Count>0 then saveTo=WScript.Arguments(0)
cs.XmlNode.ownerDocument.save saveTo

WScript.Echo "Result saved to: " & saveTo
