9.10. Extract Signature Information to XML

Signatures and certificates containe a huge amount of data. Only some of them are testable with direct tests. But all of the data can be evaluated using XPath. Section 3.23: “Signatures and Certificates” describes tests with signatures and certificates.

The following script will start the extraction:
