<p>The typical signature verification process includes following steps:
</p>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li><p> Load keys, X509 certificates, etc. in the <a href="xmlsec-keysmngr.html#XMLSECKEYSMNGR">keys manager</a> .
</p></li>
<li><p> Create signature context <a href="xmlsec-xmldsig.html#XMLSECDSIGCTX">xmlSecDSigCtx</a>
using <a href="xmlsec-xmldsig.html#XMLSECDSIGCTXCREATE">xmlSecDSigCtxCreate</a> or
<a href="xmlsec-xmldsig.html#XMLSECDSIGCTXINITIALIZE">xmlSecDSigCtxInitialize</a>
functions.
</p></li>
<li><p> Select start verification

node in the signed XML document.
</p></li>
<li><p> Verify signature by calling <a href="xmlsec-xmldsig.html#XMLSECDSIGCTXVERIFY">xmlSecDSigCtxVerify</a>
function.
</p></li>
<li><p> Check returned value and verification status (<code class="STRUCTFIELD">status</code>
member of <a href="xmlsec-xmldsig.html#XMLSECDSIGCTX">xmlSecDSigCtx</a> structure).
If necessary, consume returned data from the <a href="xmlsec-xmldsig.html#XMLSECDSIGCTX">context</a>.
</p></li>
<li><p> Destroy signature context <a href="xmlsec-xmldsig.html#XMLSECDSIGCTX">xmlSecDSigCtx</a>
