<p>The typical siganture process includes following steps:
</p>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li><p> Prepare data for signature.
</p></li>
<li><p> Create or load signature template and select start
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/#sec-Signature" target="_top"><dsig:Signature/></a>
node.
</p></li>
<li><p> Create signature context <a href="xmlsec-xmldsig.html#XMLSECDSIGCTX">xmlSecDSigCtx</a>
using <a href="xmlsec-xmldsig.html#XMLSECDSIGCTXCREATE">xmlSecDSigCtxCreate</a> or
<a href="xmlsec-xmldsig.html#XMLSECDSIGCTXINITIALIZE">xmlSecDSigCtxInitialize</a>
functions.
</p></li>
<li><p> Load signature key in <a href="xmlsec-keysmngr.html#XMLSECKEYSMNGR">keys manager</a>
or generate a session key and set it in the signature context
(<code class="STRUCTFIELD">signKey</code> member of
<a href="xmlsec-xmldsig.html#XMLSECDSIGCTX">xmlSecDSigCtx</a> structure).
</p></li>
<li><p> Sign data by calling <a href="xmlsec-xmldsig.html#XMLSECDSIGCTXSIGN">xmlSecDSigCtxSign</a>
function.
</p></li>
<li><p> Check returned value and consume signed data.
</p></li>
