feat(xmlsec1): add keys, KeyInfo, templates and signature transforms on the owned tree - #456
The libxmlsec1 keys, KeyInfo, keys managers, templates, xmltree helpers and the digest, HMAC and signature transforms run over the owned document tree through its handles; no C library is used.
Core: key values, incremental digests and HMAC, private key import into a key inventory. The owned tree keeps an unlinked run of siblings (unlink_children), parses a fragment in the namespace context of an element or the document node under the policy (parse_in_context), replaces a node with such a run while handing over its IDs (replace_with_run), and copies a subtree from another tree with its ID registrations and the bindings it uses (copy_from). An ID that two attached elements carry names neither. The serializer writes a carriage return in text as 
 and namespace declarations before attributes, as libxml2 does.
Tree layer: xsFreeNodeList, xsParseInNodeContext, xsDocCopyNode, document::subtree, parsing under an explicit policy. The library policy is published there as one verification and signing pair, replaced as a whole by one republishing caller at a time.
One policy revision per operation: a KeyInfo read pins it in its context and hands it, with the read's resource budget, to the transform chains its references run; a run of a transform context pins its own. Key reads enforce the verification policy's key sources and key-retrieval URI classes and depth; digest, HMAC and signature transforms admit their method and key under the operation's policy before taking input.
xmltree.h, templates.h, keys.h, keysdata.h (binary value, symmetric and RSA/DSA/EC/DEREncodedKeyValue klasses), keyinfo.h (KeyName, KeyValue, RetrievalMethod, KeyInfoReference), keysmngr.h (manager, store protocol, simple store), digest/HMAC/signature klasses in the built-in crypto table, xmlSecCryptoAppKeyLoadMemory. MD5 and RIPEMD-160 klasses come with the legacy-algorithms feature.
Functions that read or write a file themselves are not offered: xmlSecKeyReadBinaryFile, xmlSecSimpleKeysStoreLoad, xmlSecSimpleKeysStoreLoad_ex, xmlSecSimpleKeysStoreSave; the headers say so and point to the memory entry points. Templates are built in the document they belong to.
Testing
Every C program under crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/tests/c prints the same as libxmlsec1 1.3.13 (capi --xmlsec1); tests (with the xmlsec1 oracle and SoftHSM), clippy with all features, formatting, the header check and the clean C API check pass locally on macOS; CI runs the full matrix.
…on the owned tree
The libxmlsec1 keys, KeyInfo, keys managers, templates, xmltree helpers
and the digest, HMAC and signature transforms run over the owned document
tree through its handles; no C library is used.
- Core: key values, incremental digests and HMAC, private key import into
a key inventory. The owned tree keeps an unlinked run of siblings,
parses a fragment in the namespace context of an element or the
document node under the policy, replaces a node with such a run while
handing over its IDs, and copies a subtree from another tree with its
ID registrations and the bindings it uses. The serializer writes a
carriage return in text as 
 and namespace declarations before
attributes, as libxml2 does.
- Tree layer: xsFreeNodeList, xsParseInNodeContext, xsDocCopyNode,
document::subtree, parsing under an explicit policy. The library policy
is published there as one verification and signing pair, which
republishing replaces as a whole, one caller at a time, with the edits
run outside the snapshot lock.
- Every libxmlsec1 operation reads one policy revision: a KeyInfo read
pins it in its context and hands it to the transform chains its
references run; a run of a transform context pins its own. Key reads
enforce the verification policy's key sources and key-retrieval URI
classes and depth; digest, HMAC and signature transforms admit their
method under the operation's policy before taking input.
- xmltree.h, templates.h, keys.h, keysdata.h (binary value, symmetric and
RSA/DSA/EC/DEREncodedKeyValue klasses), keyinfo.h (KeyName, KeyValue,
RetrievalMethod, KeyInfoReference), keysmngr.h (manager, store
protocol, simple store), digest/HMAC/signature klasses in the built-in
crypto table, xmlSecCryptoAppKeyLoadMemory. MD5 and RIPEMD-160 klasses
come with the legacy-algorithms feature.
- Functions that read or write a file themselves are not offered
(xmlSecKeyReadBinaryFile, xmlSecSimpleKeysStoreLoad,
xmlSecSimpleKeysStoreLoad_ex, xmlSecSimpleKeysStoreSave); the headers
say so and point to the memory entry points. Templates are built in the
document they belong to.
- OpenSSL-compatible key import resizes a DSA generator to the modulus
precision, wipes the private exponent and budgets against retained
inventory material; standalone signature-value verification charges
the supplied key and passes the certificate session to the provider.
- Every C program under crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/tests/c prints the same as
libxmlsec1 1.3.13, DSA-SHA256 included.
Part of #451
This pull request extends the owned XML tree and adds XMLSec-compatible key, KeyInfo, template, and cryptographic transform APIs. It adds paired policy snapshots and applies pinned policies to parsing and transform runs. It also routes CLI key imports through shared code and expands C API qualification.
Changes: XML tree and XML utilities
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Owned-tree and XML utilities crates/xml-sec-libxml2/..., src/document/..., src/parser_xmloxide/serial/xml.rs, crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/src/ffi/xmltree/*, crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/tests/c/{tree.h,xmltree.c}
The owned tree now supports detached sibling runs, contextual fragment parsing, subtree copying, and ID transfer. XML tree helpers add content, editing, and QName operations. Serializers emit namespace declarations before other attributes and encode carriage returns as 
.
Policy snapshots and transform-run pinning crates/xml-sec-libxml2/src/{document.rs,policy.rs}, crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/src/ffi/{parser.rs,policy.rs,keyinfo.rs}, crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/src/ffi/transforms/*
Verification and signing policies are published as paired snapshots. Parsing and transform operations use a pinned policy revision for resource limits, URI access, and processing.
Core key and signature APIs src/key_manager*, src/policy.rs, src/xmldsig/*
Core APIs add OpenSSL-compatible private-key import, public-key SPKI conversion, incremental digest and HMAC APIs, child-level KeyValue parsing, and direct signature-value verification. Several policy validation methods become public.
XMLSec key data and memory loading crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/src/ffi/{app.rs,asymkeys.rs,keys.rs,keysdata*,symkeys.rs}, crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/tests/c/{app.c,asymkeys.c,keys.c,symkeys.c}
The XMLSec FFI adds in-memory key loading, asymmetric and symmetric key-data classes, key and binary-value operations, and error reporting. Temporary key-related buffers use zeroization.
KeyInfo, stores, and XML templates crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/src/ffi/{keysmngr.rs,keyinfo*,templates.rs}, crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/tests/c/{keyinfo.c,templates.c}
The FFI adds key managers and stores, KeyInfo read/write processing, RetrievalMethod and KeyInfoReference handlers, and signature and encryption template operations.
Digest, HMAC, and signature transforms crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/src/ffi/{crypto.rs,transforms/*}, crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/tests/c/{digests.c,hmac.c,signatures.c}
Built-in digest, HMAC, and signature transforms are registered and implemented. They process input incrementally and apply operation-specific signing or verification policy.
CLI key import and resource budgets tools/xmlsec1/{Cargo.toml,src/commands.rs,src/key_material*}
CLI key decoding now uses the shared OpenSSL importer. Signing and recipient-key decoding receive resource policies capped by the remaining external-material budget.
C ABI qualification and coverage wiring tools/xml-sec-tools/src/{capi.rs,hardening.rs,hardening/tests.rs,xmlsec1_headers.rs}
The XMLSec C API target adds qualification programs, builds with legacy-algorithms, runs programs from the repository root, and adds the target to coverage actions.
Several narrow compatibility and resource-limit gaps remain in key handling, URI policy use and ID copying. They affect non-default policy combinations, the CLI's lax key search, and edge-case inputs, and none blocks the common paths. They are worth fixing, but the change is mergeable with follow-up.

Explanation
The title names the main change: adding keys, KeyInfo, templates, and signature transforms on the owned tree in the xmlsec1 crate. The changeset matches this scope, including key managers, KeyInfo handling, XML templates, XML-tree helpers, and digest, HMAC, and signature transforms. The title is specific and single-sentence. It omits some supporting work, such as policy pinning and the removal of file-based key APIs, which is acceptable because the title need not cover every detail.

Explanation
[#458] Requirement: grow buffers by allocate, copy, wipe old block, free, instead of realloc, with a test that the old bytes are wiped, unchanged growth semantics, and a measured cost report. The reviewed change set (whole PR, merge base f1c9a92 to head 708a9e2) lists no change to the buffer growth path (xmlSecBufferSetMaxSize or realloc use). The changes that touch wiping (base64.rs Zeroizing input, binary.rs Base64 text zeroizing, xmlsec1 Cargo zeroize dependency) do not address growth. No test shows wiping on growth. The PR description lists #458 under Related as a follow-up, not as implemented here. The PR description reports no growth-cost measurement. Unmet: growth-path change, wipe test, and cost report.
Resolution
Implement the growth change for the libxmlsec1 buffer: allocate the new block, copy the live bytes, wipe the old block, and free it, keeping the -1 failure path and the xmlSecBufferAllocMode policy. Add a test that shows the old block bytes are zero before release when a buffer holding data grows. Keep the existing buffer and Base64 tests passing. Report the measured cost of the growth path in the PR. Alternatively, remove the #458 link if this PR will not carry that work.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The PR body describes a large feature set: key values and managers, KeyInfo, templates, XML-tree helpers, digest/HMAC/signature transforms, policy republishing, the xmloxide patch, serializer changes, and tool changes. The only directly linked active issue is #458 (buffer growth wipe). None of the listed changes implement #458. The PR states that it is 'Part of #451' and replaces #455, but #451 is not a linked issue in this assessment. The changes therefore have no connection to the linked issue's objective. Some hardening commits (ambiguous duplicate IDs, key-selection tests, error-callback isolation) are also not tied to #458. This is a demonstrated mismatch between the linked issue and the change set, so the feature work is unrelated to the linked objective.
Resolution
Either link the PR to the issue or issues that define the keys, KeyInfo, templates, transform, and xmloxide work, or split that work into separate PRs. Keep #458 changes in a PR that contains only the buffer growth fix, test, and cost report. Re-run this assessment after the link or split is made.

Write a closing tag in the integer XML debug dump.
For name = "Kind", this format ends with <Kind> instead of </Kind>, so the debug output is not well-formed XML. A null entry.href also becomes (null) instead of the empty attribute value produced by libxmlsec1 1.3.13. Correct both fields in this output format. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Apply the remaining-workspace limit to PKCS#8 signing inputs.
For plain PKCS#8 PEM, this branch calls decode_pkcs8_signing_key without self.resources. The decoder allocates decoded DER without checking the remaining allowance. If earlier material plus the current source fills the aggregate budget, decoding still proceeds while the source and DER coexist. The ECDSA and modern-key branches also omit this check. Apply the resource limit before decoding every supported signing-key container. Add an exact-budget rejection case. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Keep incompatible recipient keys recoverable during lax search.
If an encrypted traditional EC key precedes a usable RSA key, this DECRYPT import fails even with the correct password. The core importer rejects EC decryption usage, then converts that refusal to ProtectedContainer. container_error preserves that error, so decrypt_with_private_keys stops instead of trying the RSA candidate under --lax-key-search. Preserve a distinct usage-mismatch error through the importer. Keep actual password and decryption failures terminal. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Wipe the Base64 copy of the secret before freeing it.
xmlSecBase64Encode returns the symmetric key bytes as Base64 text. Line 379 frees this text without wiping it, so the encoded secret stays in freed heap memory. The read path at lines 287-298 already wipes its decoded text for this reason. Wipe the string the same way here.

Wipe the old bytes before the growth path moves the buffer.
xmlSecBufferFinalize and xmlSecBufferSetData already call xmlSecBufferEmpty, which zeroes the old contents. The gap is in xmlSecBufferSetMaxSize. When data is non-null, it calls realloc at buffer.rs:342 without zeroing the existing bytes. If libc moves the block, the old copy of the first buf.size bytes stays in freed heap memory. zero_tail at line 352 clears only the tail past buf.size.
xmlSecBufferSetSize (line 276) reaches this path when a buffer that already holds data grows. A buffer that holds a symmetric key can therefore leave a stale copy of the key after growth. The project guidelines require sensitive key bytes to be wrapped in Zeroize/Zeroizing.
Copy the live bytes to a new allocation, wipe the old allocation, and then free it. Keep the existing failure path, which returns -1 and leaves the old buffer intact.

Validate the store klass before allocating and writing id.
xmlSecKeyStoreCreate checks only klass.obj_size > 0. If a caller's klass has obj_size smaller than size_of::<XmlSecKeyStore>(), Line 494 writes (*store).id past the end of the allocation. There is also a second failure. If initialize fails and the klass has a null name or a short klass_size, xmlSecKeyStoreDestroy rejects the store through store_valid, and the allocation leaks. libxmlsec1 has the same weak check. This crate already has store_valid, which encodes the full contract, so applying it at creation costs little.

Add own_process() to the two KeyInfo tests that install the process-global error callback.
read_reported installs record with xmlSecErrorsSetCallback, which stores the callback in a process-wide slot. It also clears and reads the shared REASONS static. a_retrieval_method_reaches_only_the_uri_classes_policy_admits_for_keys and key_info_reference_depth_is_bounded_by_policy_whatever_the_context_says call read_reported without own_process(). Under cargo test, these tests can run in parallel threads of one process. One test can then clear REASONS between another test's read and its clone(). The R_INVALID_URI_TYPE or R_INVALID_SIZE assertions can fail intermittently. Under cargo nextest run, each test runs in its own process, so this race does not occur.

Reject explicit signs and parse the unsigned size range.
The local strtol helper accepts a leading +. It also clamps every value to c_long::MAX, and the caller then rejects that bound. Libxmlsec1 1.3.13 rejects a leading - or + before parsing. It reads the digits into an unsigned long long, so it accepts valid sizes above c_long::MAX.
Change the helper so it:
Rejects any leading + or -.
Accumulates only ASCII digits into an unsigned 64-bit value. Use checked arithmetic so that overflow is an error.
Does not clamp to c_long::MAX.

preserving the existing content-setting and cleanup flow.
- Around line 131-141: Update xmlSecBufferSetMaxSize so successful growth copies
the live bytes to a new allocation, securely wipes the old allocation using the
established Zeroize/Zeroizing mechanism, then frees it. Preserve the existing
failure behavior: return -1 and leave the old buffer intact if allocation fails.
Review comments at @crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/src/ffi/keysmngr.rs:
- Around line 478-501: Update xmlSecKeyStoreCreate to validate klass.klass_size
against the size of XmlSecKeyStoreKlass and klass.obj_size against the size of
XmlSecKeyStore before calling malloc or writing to the allocation; preserve the
existing failure return.
Review comments at @crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/src/ffi/xmltree/content.rs:
- Around line 202-203: Update the local strtol helper to reject leading plus and
minus signs, accumulate only ASCII digits into an unsigned 64-bit value with
checked arithmetic, and report overflow without clamping to c_long::MAX. In
xmlSecGetNodeContentAsSize, convert the parsed value with usize::try_from and
remove the c_long::MAX comparison while preserving the existing invalid-input
handling.
Review comments at @crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/src/ffi/xmltree/qname.rs:
- Around line 693-697: Correct the integer XML debug output format used by the
surrounding function: emit a proper closing tag for `name` and represent a null
`entry.href` as an empty attribute value, matching libxmlsec1 1.3.13 behavior.
Preserve the existing output for non-null href values.
Review comments at @src/parser_xmloxide/serial/xml.rs:
- Around line 290-291: Update the is_ns_decl predicate so an attribute named
xmlns is classified as a namespace declaration only when it has no prefix; keep
prefixed attributes such as p:xmlns on the ordinary-attribute path so their
raw_value is preserved. Apply the same predicate correction to the corresponding
xmloxide patch.
Review comments at @src/xmldsig/verify/signature_value.rs:
- Line 53: Update verify_signature_value to check whether policy.key_sources
permits KeySourceKind::PresetKey before creating or charging the candidate
budget; if not, return the same typed PolicyViolation used for refusing a
pre-resolved key in document verification.
Review comments at @tools/xmlsec1/src/key_material.rs:
- Around line 575-576: Update the signing-key decode paths selected by
`pkcs8_container_kind` so every supported container, including PKCS#8, ECDSA,
and modern-key inputs, checks `self.resources` before decoding and respects the
remaining workspace allowance. Add a test confirming that an input at the exact
budget boundary is rejected.
- Line 975: Update the importer path for KeyUsages::DECRYPT to preserve an EC
usage mismatch as a distinct error instead of converting it to
ProtectedContainer, so decrypt_with_private_keys can continue to the next
candidate during --lax-key-search. Keep password and decryption failures
terminal.

- HMAC transforms keep the key length and admit it again at the start
of each run under the run's pinned policy, so a policy published
after the key was set governs the run
- the references of one KeyInfo read share its aggregate resource
budget: the operation slot carries the spent counters across each
dereference transform run
- DEREncodedKeyValue text is bounded by its decoded size against the
per-resource limit before any buffer is sized for it
- key component, curve URI, DER content, hex/encoded content, QName
and sibling edits report the failed libxml2-shaped call and return
an error instead of leaving a half-written node
- xmlSecEnsureEmptyChild looks only at direct children
- a duplicate xml:id kept by a copy or by a replaced node linked again
makes the ID ambiguous: lookup returns no element when two attached
elements carry the value
- verify_signature_value refuses a supplied key when the policy does
not permit pre-resolved keys, and checks the HMAC output minimum
before any key hook sees the value
- the canonical serializer treats only unprefixed xmlns as a namespace
declaration
- the CLI preflights a signing key's decoded size against the
remaining resource budget
- a decrypted private key of the wrong usage stays a selection miss
under lax key search instead of a password failure
- the symmetric key's Base64 text is wiped before it is freed, and a
failed content write is reported
- xmlSecKeyStoreCreate refuses a klass whose object cannot hold the
store header or that has no name
- KeyInfo tests that install the process-wide error callback run in
their own process

Review comments at @crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/src/ffi/keyinfo/references.rs:
- Line 195: Update the key-reference transform execution around
xmlSecTransformCtxExecute to open the URI using the URI classes admitted by
Terms.admitted, without widening policy.uris.references for signature
references. Add coverage for external key-reference URIs under a policy that
restricts signature references to same-document URIs, and preserve the default
policy behavior.
Review comments at @crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/src/ffi/xmltree/qname.rs:
- Line 477: Update both QName writer paths around c_text and set_reported to
validate the QName before adding a child; treat an invalid UTF-8 value that
produces None as failure, and only report write success after a valid QName has
been written.
Review comments at @src/document/owned_tree/ids.rs:
- Around line 58-62: Update the ID lookup used by OwnedTree::copy_from so it
includes shadowed sources when copying a carrier into another tree, allowing the
registration to carry through successive copies. Keep shadowed sources
non-primary in the source tree and preserve the existing primary-registration
behavior; inspect IdTable::of_element and OwnedTree::copy_from to make the
smallest change.
Review comments at @tools/xmlsec1/src/key_material.rs:
- Around line 373-374: Update lax_candidate_error_is_recoverable so
KeyMaterialError::KeyMaterialTooLarge is classified as non-recoverable, causing
lax key search to stop on this resource refusal; preserve the existing
classification of other errors.

Failed pre-merge checks:
- Linked Issues check:
Implement the growth change for the libxmlsec1 buffer: allocate the new block,
copy the live bytes, wipe the old block, and free it, keeping the -1 failure
path and the xmlSecBufferAllocMode policy. Add a test that shows the old block
bytes are zero before release when a buffer holding data grows. Keep the
existing buffer and Base64 tests passing. Report the measured cost of the growth
path in the PR. Alternatively, remove the #458 link if this PR will not carry
that work.
- Out of Scope Changes check:
Either link the PR to the issue or issues that define the keys, KeyInfo,
templates, transform, and xmloxide work, or split that work into separate PRs.
Keep #458 changes in a PR that contains only the buffer growth fix, test, and
cost report. Re-run this assessment after the link or split is made.
