PHP XML Signatures
A couple of posts recently (here, and here) have talked about how hard it is to sign XML content, and even questioned the usefulness of doing so. I don't totally disagree that it's hard, but I wanted to show how it was possible to use the xmlsec C library to provide the ability to sign XML content from a scripted environment, and that from an application programming perspective anyway, it didn't have to be so rough.
I wrote an article about this - comments are welcome ;)

Hi John,
Thanks for the article.. It really gave me some insight in signing XML files for REST webservices.
Only could you give some more info (or even supply one :) ) on how to create a SWIG header file as stated in your article? (A SWIG interface file (just like a C header file) that describes the function signature). I've tried to create the php extension, although i can't get any further..
I'm reachable at m.siersema at eximion dot nl
Thanks in advance!
