Summary

  • Adds xml-sec-xades, a workspace crate that validates the XAdES B-B level (ETSI EN 319 132-1 §6.3) of a signature xml-sec has already verified, through the shared structured-xades core.
  • The adapter reads the verified document generation, authenticated reference catalogue, scalar kernels, hash-use and selected-key receipts; it builds no second XML representation and verifies nothing again.
  • Every limit comes from the session's compiled policy; there is no separate limit surface. xml-sec itself does not depend on structured-xades.

Changes

  • xml_sec_xades::Document implements Xml, SignatureXml, ReferenceXml, BinaryXml, AttributeXml, QNameXml, ScalarXml, UriXml, DateTimeXml, CertificateXml, HashXml and DigestProvider; every query checks document identity and generation and charges the caller's Work first. MD5 certificate digest methods are classified as the format prohibition independently of the XMLDSig digest policy.
  • validate_basic(session, signature, certificates, visitor) refuses identities outside the request, then runs prepare → check_fields → bind_counters → check_participants → check_path → basic and hands the report to a scoped visitor. XML queries spend the request's own execution; certificate processing runs on a fresh account bounded by the operation's X.509 resource policy and path bounds. Completed negative facts (no checked path, countersignature key mismatch, MD5 or unprocessed hash) are Outcome variants; stage failures keep their original typed cause.
  • Signer paths are collected only for the root and its incorporated countersignatures. Each is the exact X.509 path verification validated: its certificates are found by the evidence's path identities among KeyInfo values and the caller's pool, then re-checked by the shared path processor with the operation's provider, certificate-signature permissions and validation instant.
  • xml-sec: extension::{inspect_node, first_child, next_sibling, subtree_contains, with_base64}; VerifiedSession::{resolve_bare_name_in, resolve_digest_method_in, digest_in, certificate_path_verifier, certificate_parser, certificate_path_bounds, execution}; public CertificatePathVerifier; X509TrustEvidence::{validation_instant, certificate_identity_in}. Bare-name resolution shares the dereference kernel's fragment unescaping and ID semantics. Documented in docs/xmldsig.md.
  • scripts/generate-xades-fixtures.sh issues a root → intermediate → signer path with fixed validity dates and has xmlsec1 sign enveloped, enveloping, detached, parallel, countersigned, SHA-384-only and nested-signature B-B fixtures plus adversarial variants (certificate digest of another certificate, MD5 certificate digest, Cert/@URI, SigningTime without a zone, wrong Target, untyped SignedProperties reference, KeyInfo with only an issuer/serial selector).

Testing

fmt, clippy (workspace, all features and the backend matrix), the full workspace test suite with PKCS#11 and the xmlsec1 oracle, doctests, workspace build, the no_std checks and the wasm smoke build pass on macOS.

Closes #243

- New workspace crate xml-sec-xades implements the structured-xades
  access traits over a VerifiedSession and runs prepare, field checks,
  countersignature paths, hash uses, signing-certificate binding and the
  B-B assembly for one selected signature. No second XML representation
  is built and no signature is verified again.
- Signer paths are the exact X.509 paths verification validated: the
  adapter selects the certificates by their recorded fingerprints and
  re-checks them through the shared path processor with the operation's
  provider and certificate policy.
- xml-sec gains the public surface the traits need: accounted tree
  navigation and base64 decoding, subtree containment, bare-name target
  resolution, DigestMethod resolution and digests under the compiled
  policy, a provider-backed certificate path verifier and the exact
  validation instant of X.509 trust evidence.
- B-B fixtures (enveloped, enveloping, detached, parallel) and
  adversarial variants are signed by xmlsec1 with a real three-level CA
  path; scripts/generate-xades-fixtures.sh regenerates them.

Closes #243
- The fixture script adds an enveloped plain XMLDSig countersignature over
  the parent's complete SignatureValue, signed by xmlsec1 after the parent.
- The test binds the countersignature as its own actor: validated path,
  key association and hash uses, with the root still meeting B-B.

📝 Walkthrough

The change adds an xml-sec-xades workspace crate that adapts verified XML signature sessions to structured XAdES interfaces. It adds accounted tree and lookup APIs to xml-sec, exposes a B-B validation entry point, and includes signed fixtures and integration tests.

Changes: XAdES B-B validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Accounted XML tree access
src/xml/dom/tree.rs, src/xmldsig/extension*, tests/xml_tree_navigation.rs
Adds work-accounted node inspection, traversal, subtree checks, and Base64 decoding for document views. Tests cover traversal order, identity checks, malformed Base64, and work limits.
Verified-session lookups and certificate paths
src/xmldsig/verify/session/*, src/xmldsig/pkix.rs, src/xmldsig/trust.rs, src/xmldsig/mod.rs, tests/session_lookups.rs, docs/xmldsig.md
Adds operation-bound bare-name and digest-method lookups, digest computation, a provider-backed certificate-path verifier, and access to the validation instant. Tests and documentation cover these APIs.
Structured-XAdES document adapter
crates/xml-sec-xades/src/lib.rs, crates/xml-sec-xades/src/{xml,signature,binary,path}.rs
Adds a snapshot-checked Document adapter over VerifiedSession. It implements XML, signature, binary, digest, and certificate-path projections for structured XAdES.
B-B validation and fixture coverage
crates/xml-sec-xades/src/basic.rs, crates/xml-sec-xades/tests/*, crates/xml-sec-xades/tests/fixtures/*, scripts/generate-xades-fixtures.sh, Cargo.toml, crates/xml-sec-xades/Cargo.toml
Adds validate_basic and its result types. Integration tests exercise baseline signature forms, countersignatures, negative findings, path outcomes, foreign identities, and work limits. Adds fixture-generation tooling and workspace/package configuration.

The new XAdES B-B adapter and its tests show no known runtime defect. One maintenance issue remains: the fixture-generation script would produce certificates that start after the tests' fixed validation time if it is rerun after mid-January 2027, and the XAdES test suite would then fail. The change is mergeable; pinning the certificate validity window in the script would avoid that later breakage.

Explanation

Issue [#243] requires an independent xml-sec-xades adapter, B-B validation, accounted access, identity and generation checks, real-path fixture coverage, typed adversarial outcomes, and public-entry resource and identity tests. The reviewed changes add the workspace crate and validate_basic pipeline. Document implements the adapter traits shown in the source and checks Snapshot before queries. The XMLDSig extension APIs charge Work before tree, decoding, lookup, and digest operations. Integration tests cover enveloped, enveloping, detached, parallel, and countersigned signatures; certificate digest mismatch and MD5; forbidden Cert/@URI; wrong Target; untyped SignedProperties; missing KeyInfo certificate; missing timezone; path failures; a foreign identity; and refused work. The public APIs keep xml-sec independent of structured-xades. The reported format, lint, test, doctest, wasm, and no_std gates support the required gates.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The reviewed changes stay within issue [#243]. The new adapter, XMLDSig public surface, path and lookup helpers, tests, fixtures, fixture-generation script, and docs/xmldsig.md all support XAdES B-B validation over verified xml-sec sessions. No unrelated product behavior or dependency direction is shown in the whole-pull-request summary.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 46.02% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 113 functions across 18 files. (16 skipped: 16 unsupported.)

- Around line 35-48: Update the certificate generation commands in the script so
the root, intermediate, and signer use a fixed validity window that includes the
test’s verification time and the hard-coded SigningTime, regardless of when
fixtures are regenerated. Add a script check that fails if any generated
certificate’s notBefore is later than the signing time.

Summary

Adds xml-sec-xades to assess XAdES B-B properties using an existing verified session.

  • Callers can assess B-B facts for signatures xml-sec has verified.
  • Verified sessions now provide policy-bound lookups for extension formats.
  • Extension callers can navigate the original XML tree and decode base64 values.

The current code addresses all four earlier, unnumbered findings: certificate identities no longer depend on the reference digest policy; bare-name lookup shares fragment normalization; path searches charge work; and fixture validity dates are fixed.

No blocking issues were identified. Tests were not run during this review.

…ixtures (#129)

## Summary

Completes the generic XAdES baseline validation core for B-B, B-T, B-LT
and
B-LTA (ETSI EN 319 132-1 V1.3.1) and qualifies it against independent
public
fixtures.

- `baseline::assess` joins the stage reports of exactly the level the
  preparation requested and states whether every condition of that level
holds, including the earlier levels. A different level, or an archive
census
built from another preparation or another authenticated credential
census,
  is refused. Additional containers never promote the requested level.
- `Evidence::basic` and `Evidence::timestamped` build B-B and B-T
evidence
  without naming the credential type that only B-LT/B-LTA reports carry.
- Independent qualification (`scripts/qualify-xades-corpus.py`) over
  SHA256-pinned DSS fixtures, with xmlsec1, OpenSSL and libxml2 C14N as
  test-only oracles:
  - B-B, B-LT and B-LTA positives: table 2 census, XMLDSig verification,
isolated SignatureValue and signed-data mutations, timestamp tokens and
the B-LT OCSP response, byte-for-byte signature/archive timestamp
inputs,
    SigningCertificateV2 and IssuerSerialV2 binding at every level;
  - negatives, each checked for its stated defect: a copied
    SignatureTimeStamp token, no KeyInfo, no SigningTime, the forbidden
SigningCertificate v1, unreferenced SignedProperties, a tampered KeyInfo
    certificate;
- signature wrapping: SignedProperties moved outside
QualifyingProperties
with a forged copy, and an unsigned ds:Object beside the signed content;
  - a document with two signatures, judged separately.

## Consumer evidence

- xml-sec XAdES adapter (B-B, structured-world/xml-sec#244): its full
test
suite at 50a53bf passes against this branch, including a check that its
real B-B
  report assesses as the requested level.
- The issue's final acceptance also needs the xml-sec B-T/B-LT/B-LTA
adapter
  and the isitsigned consumer. This PR stays open until both have been
  verified against it; any gap they report is fixed here.

## Testing

- `cargo fmt --check`, `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets
--all-features -- -D warnings`
- `cargo nextest run --workspace --all-features`: 1599 passed, also on
Rust 1.92
- `cargo test --doc --workspace --all-features`
- `cargo check -p structured-xades --no-default-features --features
alloc` for
  `thumbv7em-none-eabihf` and `wasm32-unknown-unknown`
- `uv run --with lxml scripts/qualify-xades-corpus.py`: all checks pass
(run
on 868c807; the later commit adds only constructors the harness does not
use)

Closes #4
- validate_basic takes no separate account: XML queries spend the
  request's execution and certificate processing runs on a parser whose
  fresh account and path bounds come from the operation's X.509 resource
  and key-trust policy (new VerifiedSession::execution,
  certificate_parser and certificate_path_bounds).
- An identity outside the verified request is refused as
  UnknownSignature instead of reported as a signer without a path.
- Paths are collected only for the root and its incorporated
  countersignatures, so a signature nested in signed content is never
  decoded, hashed or re-checked for this root.
- Path certificates are found with the internal identity that recorded
  the trust evidence (X509TrustEvidence::certificate_identity_in), not
  through the document digest policy; a SHA-384-only policy no longer
  stops B-B.
- resolve_bare_name_in shares the dereference kernel's fragment
  unescaping and same-document ID semantics instead of its own NCName
  check, while still refusing XPointer forms.
- The certificate digest provider classifies MD5 as the format
  prohibition before the XMLDSig digest policy applies.
- Signer and certificate lookups charge every comparison.
- Fixture certificates use fixed validity dates that contain the claimed
  signing time and the tests' verification instant; new SHA-384-only and
  nested-signature fixtures carry the regression tests.
