I need to sign a document using XML DSIG C++ library and deliver using
openssl and https, as a client to customer's web services application
server.

I have following questions
1) Can I create certificate like keytool available on LINUX and
Solaris, use that certificate to digitally sign the XML document? Do I
need to get a certificate from certificate authority like verisign?
2) If I embed the certificate inside the XML, say, keyinfo tag, can
recipient verify the signature using information in the XML document?
That is, do they need to have a copy of certificate locally?

Thanks,
RU

This is a Java group, please ask C++ questions in the appropriate groups
only.
