  There is already an implementation of Digital Signature and Canonicalization
for libxml2 thanks to Aleksey Sanin see:

  and
    http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-c14n.html

  Before helping you redoing what was already done, please take the time to
make sure reinventing the wheel is necessary. The implementation is NOT trivial
you WILL get through tons of problems, and you will need a PERFECT understanding
of both libxml2 internal data model and of the SPECS to reach any conclusive
result. Since all those are really not trivial, I strongly usggest you look
seriously into reusing the existing code.
