feat(xmlsec1): add keys, KeyInfo, templates and signature transforms on the owned tree - #459
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). A fragment or copy linked away from its context declares the bindings it uses. 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 and the URI classes admitted for each key reference, 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, a caller's verification key only where the policy permits pre-resolved keys.
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 the libxmlsec1 oracle, a 1.3.13 pre-release snapshot (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. 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, 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, with the read's resource budget
and the URI classes admitted for each key reference, 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, a caller's verification key only where the policy
permits pre-resolved keys.
- 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. Tree edits report the failed
libxml2-shaped call and return an error instead of leaving a
half-written node.
- 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; a decrypted key of the wrong usage stays a
candidate miss. Standalone signature-value verification requires the
pre-resolved key source, checks the HMAC output minimum before any key
hook, charges the supplied key and passes the certificate session to
the provider. The CLI preflights signing keys against the remaining
resource budget, and a resource refusal stops lax key search.
- Every C program under crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/tests/c prints the same as
libxmlsec1 1.3.13, DSA-SHA256 included.
Part of #451
The pull request extends the owned XML tree and libxmlsec1-compatible FFI with tree, key, KeyInfo, template, and cryptographic transform operations. It adds paired signing and verification policy snapshots, core XMLDSig APIs, shared OpenSSL-compatible key import, CLI integration, and C API qualification coverage.

Summary
Document parsing and tree bridge crates/xml-sec-libxml2/include/xs_tree.h, crates/xml-sec-libxml2/src/document.rs, crates/xml-sec-libxml2/src/nodes.rs, crates/xml-sec-libxml2/src/ffi/tree.rs, crates/xml-sec-libxml2/src/ffi/tree/tests.rs, crates/xml-sec-libxml2/src/document/tests.rs
The bridge adds policy-specific parsing, subtree document construction, sibling-run operations, fragment parsing, node copying, and list freeing. The header documents node ownership and specified return codes.
Unlinked runs, copying, and ID tracking src/document/owned_tree.rs, src/document/owned_tree/ids.rs, src/document/owned_tree/tests.rs
The owned tree supports detached sibling runs, contextual fragment parsing, and subtree copying with namespace reconciliation. It tracks duplicate ID carriers and updates lookup behavior as nodes are linked, unlinked, or replaced.
XML serialization src/parser_xmloxide/serial/xml.rs, scripts/patches/xmloxide-0.5.0.patch
The serializers emit namespace declarations before ordinary attributes and serialize text carriage returns as 
. Tests cover declaration classification and output.
libxmlsec1-compatible FFI
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Policy snapshots and operation state crates/xml-sec-libxml2/src/policy.rs, crates/xml-sec-libxml2/src/policy/tests.rs, crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/src/ffi/policy.rs, crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/src/ffi/parser.rs, crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/src/ffi/transforms/*
Policies are published as paired verification and signing snapshots. FFI operations pin a revision and share resource counters across nested parsing, transform, and URI operations.
The FFI adds key objects, key requirements, stores, symmetric and asymmetric key data, DER-encoded key values, and in-memory key loading. Temporary key and Base64 buffers are zeroized on the described paths.
The built-in table gains digest, HMAC, RSA, RSA-PSS, DSA, and ECDSA transforms. The transforms check operation policies and handle chunked input, verification status, and HMAC truncation.
KeyInfo, templates, and XML helpers crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/src/ffi/keyinfo*, crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/src/ffi/templates.rs, crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/src/ffi/xmltree*, crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/src/ffi/keysdata.rs, crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/src/ffi/errors.rs, crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/src/ffi/keyinfo/tests.rs, crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/src/ffi/xmltree/edit/tests.rs, crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/tests/c/{keyinfo,templates,tree.h,xmltree}.c
The FFI adds KeyInfo reading and writing, reference handling, XML Signature and Encryption template builders, XML content and QName helpers, and tree editing operations.
C API qualification and file APIs tools/xml-sec-tools/src/capi.rs, tools/xml-sec-tools/src/hardening.rs, tools/xml-sec-tools/src/hardening/tests.rs, tools/xml-sec-tools/src/xmlsec1_headers.rs, crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/include/xmlsec/{keys.h,keysmngr.h}, crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/tests/c/*
The qualification runner adds C harnesses for the new APIs and includes the xmlsec1 target with legacy-algorithms. The public headers omit selected file-based key-loading and store operations.
Core XMLDSig APIs and key import
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Digest, HMAC, SPKI, and signature-value APIs src/xmldsig/{digest,keys,mac,mod,parse,verify}.rs, src/xmldsig/keys/key_value_tests.rs, src/xmldsig/verify/signature_value*, src/policy.rs
The core API adds incremental digest and HMAC operations, SPKI conversion, key-value child parsing, and policy-checked signature-value verification.
The key inventory adds OpenSSL-compatible PEM and DER import for PKCS#8 and traditional RSA, EC, and DSA keys. The importer handles supported encrypted PEM envelopes, normalizes traditional keys, and applies resource limits.
The CLI uses the shared importer for traditional key formats and passes resource limits through decoding. Candidate search uses a shared predicate to determine which key errors can be skipped.
Most earlier concerns are addressed. A few correctness issues remain in tree editing and ID handling, where an element can silently disappear from output or an ID lookup can become ambiguous. Known libxmlsec1 compatibility gaps and unwiped buffer growth are tracked as follow-ups. These should be resolved or explicitly accepted before merge.

The title names the main change: adding keys, KeyInfo, templates, and signature transforms on the owned tree in the xmlsec1 crate. The raw summary confirms these areas are the bulk of the changeset (key classes, KeyInfo FFI, template builders, signature/digest/HMAC transforms, and owned-tree operations). The title does not mention the policy pair, the removed file-based APIs, or the tree helpers, but it does not need to cover every detail. It is specific enough for a teammate scanning history to identify the primary change.

Escape attribute-normalized whitespace in namespace URIs.
declare_namespace accepts a URI containing a tab, carriage return, or line feed. This helper writes those characters literally into the wrapper; XML attribute-value normalization changes them to spaces. parse_in_context then assigns a different namespace URI to the fragment. Write character references for these three characters. (w3.org)

Move a shadowed custom ID when its attribute changes.
A copied, caller-registered Id="x" can become shadowed when the target already holds x. This code recognizes the copy as an ID carrier, but set_attribute checks only self.ids.carries(&source). Changing the copied attribute to "y" therefore leaves element_by_id("y") empty. Make the setter recognize and update shadowed carriers too.

Validate RSA AlgorithmIdentifier parameters before conversion.
If an rsaEncryption SPKI has an INTEGER parameter, spki_algorithm selects the RSA branch and this callback admits it. The RSA reader checks the OID and components, but not that parameter. from_spki_der can therefore accept the invalid SPKI; to_spki_der then emits an ordinary RSA SPKI instead of preserving the invalid input. Use CertificateSession::rsa_public_key(spki_der, None), which requires NULL or absent parameters. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
As per coding guidelines, “Missing validation: unchecked index, unvalidated input from network/disk/external source” must be flagged.

Classify safety-limit refusals the same way on both import paths.
container_error maps Selection(..) reasons that contain "safety limit" to KeyMaterialError::PrivateKeyComponents. is_candidate_miss treats that variant as terminal. import_private_key maps the same reasons to KeyMaterialError::KeyStore(error). import_explicit_private_key then turns that into CommandError::KeyStore(Selection(..)). lax_candidate_error_is_recoverable returns true for that error.
Example: under --lax-key-search, a PKCS#1 RSA key with a modulus over RSA_MODULUS_BIT_CEILING fails in two different ways:
With the rustcrypto provider, it fails through decode_signing_key, and the search stops.
With a non-rustcrypto provider, or through ML-KEM recipient selection, it fails through import_private_key, and the search skips it.
The old predicate excluded private-key-component errors. This explicit-import path no longer produces them.
is_candidate_miss also returns true for KeyStore(Policy(_)) and KeyStore(ProtectedContainer). That contradicts its own documentation.
Route both paths through one mapping. Also make the predicate look inside the KeyStore variant.

Add DSA and EdDSA cases to the SPKI derivation test.
The test covers only RSA and EC. The DSA branch of PrivateKeyIdentity::spki_der uses a separate encoder, verifying_key().to_public_key_der(). The EdDSA branch reuses the PKCS#8 algorithm identifier. Neither branch is exercised. The FFI feeds this SPKI into KeyValueInfo::from_spki_der. A wrong encoding in either branch would therefore produce an incorrect KeyValue, and no test would catch it.

follow the libxmlsec1 1.3.13 header order: local part before href, and update
its call sites to pass arguments in that order. Leave the integer lookup
parameters unchanged.
Review comments at @src/document/owned_tree.rs:
- Line 650: Before `wrapped.push_str(fragment)`, use checked arithmetic to
validate the combined wrapper and fragment length against the document policy
limit, rejecting oversized input before constructing `wrapped`; preserve the
existing `parse_with_policy` rejection behavior.
- Around line 783-787: Update the namespace fixup around `bound(&scope, None)`
so an unqualified copied root gets an `xmlns=""` undeclaration when it is linked
beneath a non-empty default namespace, even if its detached `scope` has no
default binding. Preserve the existing behavior for other namespace bindings.
- Around line 685-690: Update the namespace-reconciliation condition around
source.linked_parent(from) so copying a descendant whose parent chain belongs to
an unlinked run also calls self.declare_used_bindings(copy). Preserve the
existing behavior for nodes in linked trees.
- Around line 658-666: Update the import flow around import and hold so
namespace bindings inherited from parsed ancestors are preserved on returned
nodes, or reconciled when those nodes are linked. Ensure every prefix used by an
imported node has a declaration on that node or one of its ancestors, including
when the node is appended elsewhere.
Review comments at @src/document/owned_tree/ids.rs:
- Around line 63-65: Update the carrier registration logic to use
`shadowed_sources.insert((source, value))` as the duplicate check, and append
`source` to `carriers` only when insertion succeeds. Remove the linear
`carriers.contains` scan while preserving the existing source-and-value
uniqueness behavior.
Review comments at @src/xmldsig/verify/signature_value.rs:
- Around line 51-52: Add the existing target-requirement check to the
signature-value verification path between policy validation and
signature-algorithm checking, using the no-target setting because this API has
no target input. Ensure profiles requiring target evidence are rejected before
verification while preserving the remaining checks.

Minor comments:
Review comments at @crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/src/ffi/asymkeys.rs:
- Around line 767-770: Update the decoded-size check using encoded in the
surrounding Base64 decoding flow to account for valid trailing padding, so
padded input is not overestimated and a decoded value exactly at max is
accepted. Retain the existing Base64 validation and reject malformed input.
Review comments at @crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/src/ffi/keys.rs:
- Line 581: Update the key-use-with copy path around xmlSecPtrListCopy to
replace destination records rather than append to them: after the self-copy
guard, clear dst.key_use_with_list using the established list-clearing mechanism
before copying, so an empty source also removes stale records. Add a regression
case with distinct, populated requirements that verifies the destination
contains only the source records.
Review comments at @crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/src/ffi/xmltree/content.rs:
- Around line 208-209: Replace the signed, c_long-dependent size parsing around
strtol with unsigned parsing and a checked conversion to usize. Reject negative
or out-of-range input without clamping, while accepting values that fit usize
regardless of platform-specific c_long limits.
Review comments at @crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/src/ffi/xmltree/edit.rs:
- Line 244: In the element-creation flow around namespace_for and xsSetNs,
detect when namespace_for returns null before returning the linked element;
unlink and free cur, then return null so the requested namespace is never
silently omitted.
Review comments at @crates/xml-sec-xmlsec1/tests/c/app.c:
- Around line 224-228: Update the RSA encrypted-key success checks around show
and load in the test so both encrypted-key cases require a non-NULL key and fail
the test otherwise. Extend the existing fixture guard or use the test’s
established failure mechanism, while preserving the current output-comparison
behavior.
- Around line 155-156: Update the sign flow containing xmlSecTransformVerify so
each expected-success operation fails when key setup or execution fails, and
check both its return value and transform->status because verification failure
may only appear in the status. Propagate any failure from sign to main so the
test exits nonzero.
Review comments at @src/document/owned_tree.rs:
- Line 1927: Update the namespace URI escaping helper used by declare_namespace
to serialize tab, carriage return, and line feed as character references in the
XML attribute value, preserving their exact values through parsing; leave
handling of other characters unchanged.
- Around line 1614-1615: Update set_attribute to recognize shadowed custom-ID
carriers as well as carriers returned by self.ids.carries, and update the ID
mapping when their attribute changes. Preserve the existing behavior for
non-shadowed carriers and ensure the new ID resolves through element_by_id after
the update.
Review comments at @src/xmldsig/keys.rs:
- Line 2664: Replace the permissive admitted_rsa_public_key callback in the RSA
branch with CertificateSession::rsa_public_key, passing None, so SPKI conversion
accepts only absent or NULL rsaEncryption parameters.
Review comments at @tools/xml-sec-tools/src/hardening.rs:
- Line 191: Update the local `hardening coverage` example to set
`XMLSEC1_PREFIX` to the provisioned xmlsec1 installation prefix alongside
`PKCS11_MODULE`; ensure the environment variable is present when the command
runs the `--xmlsec1` action.
Review comments at @tools/xmlsec1/src/key_material.rs:
- Around line 776-782: Route import_private_key through the same error mapping
as container_error so selection failures containing “safety limit” become
KeyMaterialError::PrivateKeyComponents on both import paths. Update
is_candidate_miss to inspect KeyStore errors and treat KeyStore Policy and
ProtectedContainer errors as terminal, preserving its existing recoverability
behavior for other errors.

Nitpick comments:
Review comments at @src/document/owned_tree/tests.rs:
- Line 461: Update the assertions around parse_in_context in the
malformed-fragment and unbound-prefix tests to match the expected parse-error
variant rather than accepting any error. Apply the same assertion change to the
related cases at the other indicated assertions, preserving their existing
contexts and verification policies.
Review comments at @src/key_manager/public_key_tests.rs:
- Around line 14-27: Extend the fixture loop in the SPKI derivation test with
DSA, Ed25519, and Ed448 private/public fixture pairs, using the same structure
as the existing RSA and EC cases. Ensure each case exercises the existing SPKI
derivation and comparison path.

Failed pre-merge checks:
- Linked Issues check:
Implement the #458 growth change in the buffer code. Replace `realloc` on the
growth path with allocate, copy the live bytes, wipe the old block, and free it.
Keep the failure path (return -1 with the old buffer intact) and the
`xmlSecBufferAllocMode` policy. Add a test that shows the old block bytes are
wiped 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.

- key and use-with setters copy their input before releasing what they
hold, so a name taken from the key itself survives; the bounded name
setter scans up to its NUL instead of forming a slice of name_size
- requirements copied onto others replace the destination's use-with
records, as libxmlsec1 1.3.13 empties the list first
- adopting the key store or a data store the manager already owns keeps
it instead of freeing it under the manager
- an HMAC transform refuses a second key once its MAC has run, and
admits its key under the revision its method was read with
- an added child without a namespace takes its parent's, as
xmlNewChild does; an element whose namespace cannot be declared is
taken back; content is replaced only by a tree node, checked before
the old children are released
- a KeyValue writer asked for the private key fails rather than writing
only the public part; the DEREncodedKeyValue size bound discounts
Base64 padding
- signature-value verification refuses profiles that need expected
targets; an rsaEncryption SPKI must carry NULL or absent parameters
- a fragment or copy linked away from the context it was read in
declares the bindings it uses, and an element in no namespace
undeclares a default above it; freshly created elements are left as
libxml2 leaves them. Fragment parsing meets the byte limit before the
fragment is copied, and context namespaces keep tab, line feed and
carriage return. A shadowed ID carrier moves its ID when its value
changes, and repeated IDs no longer cost quadratic work
- both private-key importers classify safety-limit refusals alike, and
a store-wrapped policy or protected-container failure stops lax key
search
- the application C program fails when the encrypted key does not load
or a signature does not verify; tests cover DSA and EdDSA SPKI
derivation and the exact fragment parse errors
Each fix carries a regression test that fails on the previous code,
except the bounded name read, whose out-of-bounds slice is undefined
behaviour no assertion observes without a sanitizer.

Check shadowed carriers before accepting an ID claim.
If <a xml:id="x"/> is the primary carrier and <b xml:id="x"/> is shadowed, removing a’s attribute leaves b as the only carrier. check_claim then permits a third element to register x, because it checks only ids.get("x"). The new registration creates two linked ID carriers, and element_by_id("x") returns None. Check live shadowed carriers before accepting the claim.

Remove a shadow entry when its attribute is removed.
If a copied id="x" attribute is shadowed, remove_attribute leaves its shadow entry in IdTable. A later set_attribute that recreates id="y" on the same element sees is_shadowed == true and registers y as an ID without a new register_id call. Remove the shadow entry with the attribute.
