The Reference Element (http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/sec-Reference)

Reference is an element that may occur one or more times. It specifies a digest algorithm and digest value, and optionally an identifier of the object being signed, the type of the object, and/or a list of transforms to be applied prior to digesting. The identification (URI) and transforms describe how the digested content (i.e., the input to the digest method) was created. The Type attribute facilitates the processing of referenced data. For example, while this specification makes no requirements over external data, an application may wish to signal that the referent is a Manifest. An optional ID attribute permits a Reference to be referenced from elsewhere.

#### Parameters

dsigRefCtx | the pointer to <dsig:Reference/> element processing context. |
node | the pointer to <dsig:Reference/> node. |

#### Returns

0 on succes or aa negative value otherwise.

### xmlSecDSigReferenceCtxGetPreDigestBuffer ()

Gets the results of <dsig:Reference/> node processing just before digesting (valid only if XMLSEC_DSIG_FLAGS_STORE_SIGNEDINFO_REFERENCES or XMLSEC_DSIG_FLAGS_STORE_MANIFEST_REFERENCES flas of signature context is set).

#### Parameters

dsigRefCtx | the pointer to <dsig:Reference/> element processing context. |

#### Returns

pointer to the buffer or NULL if an error occurs.
