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.

Replaces #244.

Closes #243

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added XAdES B-B validation for XML signatures, covering signer certificate paths, countersignatures, certificate references, and hash bindings.
    • Added XML document tree navigation and Base64 access, along with session-based signature, digest, and certificate lookups.
    • Added validation support for enveloped, enveloping, detached, nested, and parallel signatures, with checks for certificate, signing-time, and reference requirements.
  • Documentation
    • Added guidance on XML signature navigation and certificate trust evidence.

Add 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, and xml-sec itself does not depend on
structured-xades.

- xml_sec_xades::Document implements the structured-xades XML, signature,
  reference, binary, scalar, URI, date-time, certificate, hash and digest
  provider traits; 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 refuses identities outside the verified request, then
  runs prepare, check_fields, bind_counters, check_participants,
  check_path and basic, handing 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 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 gains original-tree navigation (inspect_node, first_child,
  next_sibling, subtree_contains, with_base64), VerifiedSession lookups
  (resolve_bare_name_in, resolve_digest_method_in, digest_in,
  certificate_path_verifier, certificate_parser, certificate_path_bounds,
  execution), a public CertificatePathVerifier and
  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 and
  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.

📝 Walkthrough

This PR adds the xml-sec-xades workspace crate. It adapts VerifiedSession evidence to structured-XAdES interfaces and adds a B-B validation entry point, signer-path checks, XMLDSig support APIs, fixtures, and tests.

Changes: XAdES B-B validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
VerifiedSession lookups and certificate policy
src/xmldsig/verify/session/*, src/xmldsig/{pkix,trust,uri,mod}.rs, tests/session_lookups.rs, docs/xmldsig.md
Adds work-accounted reference and digest lookups, certificate identity and validation-time access, and certificate path-verifier construction. Tests cover URI resolution, digest policy, and resource accounting.
Original-document tree and Base64 access
src/xml/dom/tree.rs, src/xmldsig/extension/*, tests/xml_tree_navigation.rs, docs/xmldsig.md
Adds identity-checked tree traversal, node inspection, subtree checks, and scoped Base64 decoding. Tests check traversal, decoding errors, and work limits.
Document-backed XAdES interfaces
Cargo.toml, crates/xml-sec-xades/Cargo.toml, crates/xml-sec-xades/src/{lib,xml,signature,binary}.rs
Adds the workspace crate and a Document wrapper over VerifiedSession. The wrapper implements XML, signature, binary, and digest access for structured-XAdES.
Signer certificate-path selection
crates/xml-sec-xades/src/path.rs, crates/xml-sec-xades/src/path/tests.rs
Selects and checks signer and countersigner paths against candidate certificates. Reports missing, incomplete, rejected, anchor-only, and unvalidated path states.
B-B pipeline and validation coverage
crates/xml-sec-xades/src/basic.rs, crates/xml-sec-xades/tests/basic.rs, crates/xml-sec-xades/tests/fixtures/*, scripts/generate-xades-fixtures.sh
Adds validate_basic and its typed outcomes and errors. Integration tests exercise signature forms, countersignatures, certificate references, digest cases, and work-budget failures using fixtures.

Summary

Adds xml-sec-xades to assess XAdES B-B properties using existing XMLDSig evidence and checked certificate paths.

  • Callers can check XAdES B-B properties on signatures already verified by xml-sec.
  • Callers can walk the original XML tree and decode Base64 content.
  • Verified sessions provide policy-bound lookups for extension formats.

Comment thread crates/xml-sec-xades/src/basic.rs
- Walking KeyInfo and decoding X509Certificate text are XML queries and
  now spend the request's execution; the X.509 account keeps only the
  retained certificate bytes, parsing and path checks. Regression test:
  key_info_navigation_spends_the_request_execution.
- Reference/@type, QualifyingProperties/@target and DigestMethod/@Algorithm
  are xs:anyURI, whose whiteSpace facet is collapse (XSD 1.0 4.3.6). Edge
  whitespace no longer breaks the SignedProperties binding, the target
  resolution or the certificate digest method lookup. Regression tests:
  uri_attributes_bind_after_whitespace_collapse (new padded-uris
  fixture) and the padded DigestMethod case in session_lookups.
- Fixtures are regenerated with the padded-uris variant.

412-437: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a stale same-document identity test.

identities_outside_the_request_are_refused checks a foreign identity and the current root element. It does not check a signature identity from an earlier generation of the same document.

The public API can create this case. Copy the signature identity, call replace_content with the existing payload, verify the unchanged document again, and pass the old identity to validate_basic. Assert Error::UnknownSignature.
