Summary

  • xml-sec-xades validates B-T, B-LT and B-LTA of verified signatures, on top of the existing B-B, over the document's own timestamps, validation material and archives.
  • Nothing is fetched and no clock is read: anchors, TSA policy accuracy, OCSP responders and external status are explicit caller inputs; how tokens are read comes from the compiled policy.
  • The adapter builds without std and executes B-LTA in WebAssembly.

Changes

  • validate with Inputs and typed Outcome negative facts, including Outcome::Renewal for RenewedDigestsV2 (EN 319 132-1 §5.5.3).
  • VerificationPolicy::timestamp_token_encoding: Declared holds tokens to their declared encoding (§5.1.3), Ber reads them as RFC 5652 BER. A profile overlay cannot relax it.
  • AuthorityAccuracy for tokens without accuracy (RFC 3161 §2.4.2) and ConfiguredResponder for local OCSP configuration (RFC 6960 §4.2.2.2).
  • A timestamp signer may come from the document and an OCSP signer from the caller's anchors or responders, since tokens and responses may omit them.
  • CRL and OCSP signatures obey the operation's RSA/DSA key policy.
  • A CRL or delta entry that lists a certificate takes precedence over a good OCSP answer (RFC 5280 §6.3.3).
  • Structured primitives move to 0.20; the exact aws-lc-rs and aws-lc-fips-sys requirements are removed.
  • README brought up to 0.4 scope.

Testing

  • Tests, lints, the alloc-only target, the WebAssembly smoke and PKCS#11 run through CI on every platform.
  • xades check compares EU DSS conclusions on the level fixtures, including detached, parallel and countersigned structures, and gates on signatures DSS itself produced, fetched at its release tag.

Closes #282

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added XAdES baseline validation for B-T, B-LT, and B-LTA signatures, including timestamp, certificate, revocation, archive, and renewal evidence checks.
    • Added configurable timestamp-token encoding, with declared encoding as the default and BER available as an option.
    • Added APIs for retained Base64-decoded data and XML element canonicalization.
  • Documentation
    • Updated installation guidance, XAdES capability descriptions, and interoperability results.
  • Tests
    • Expanded validation coverage across XAdES levels, WebAssembly, and interoperability fixtures.

- Add `validate` over the document's own timestamps, validation
  material and archives, through structured-xades and structured-ltv.
- Add caller inputs: anchors, TSA policy accuracy, OCSP responders,
  CRLs, OCSP responses and an explicit timestamp token profile.
- Report a RenewedDigestsV2 property that does not confirm its object.
- Let a CRL or delta entry win over a good OCSP answer.
- Build the adapter without std and execute B-LTA in WebAssembly.
- Compare level fixtures with EU DSS and gate on signatures DSS made.
- Update the structured primitives to 0.20 and drop the aws-lc pins.

Closes #282

Walkthrough

This change adds XAdES validation for baseline levels B-B through B-LTA. It adds timestamp, certificate-path, CRL, OCSP, and archive-evidence processing, plus validation fixtures, interoperability tools, and a WebAssembly smoke check.

Explanation

Issue [#282] requires complete B-B/B-T/B-LT/B-LTA validation without implicit acquisition, clock reads, trust decisions, a second dispatcher, or a mandatory CMS dependency in core XMLDSig. validate adds the Basic and higher-level paths. Inputs carries anchors, certificates, UTC facts, accuracy, responder, CRL, and OCSP inputs. level.rs performs timestamp, credential, status, material, archive, and RenewedDigestsV2 checks and returns typed negative outcomes. The level tests cover real positive and negative cases, BER and declared token profiles, chronology-related timing, missing and unsupported evidence, conflicting CRL/OCSP evidence, detached, parallel, and countersigned signatures, resource limits, and allocator refusal. The workflow adds feature, provider, alloc-only, embedded-target, WASM, PKCS#11, lint, documentation, and workspace qualification. The XAdES tooling and DSS probe provide independent-validator comparison. The reviewed changes also preserve caller-controlled trust and time inputs and add the required shared PKIX/CMS integration.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changed files remain connected to issue [#282]. Core policy and PKIX changes support timestamp-token encoding and revocation-signature verification. XML adapter changes implement the validation pipeline. Fixtures, tests, DSS tooling, CI, documentation, dependency updates, and WASM smoke coverage support the requested validation and qualification matrix. No unrelated feature or product change is demonstrated by the reviewed summary and focused repository evidence.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 70.54% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 112 functions across 32 files. (21 skipped: 21 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Review comments at @crates/xml-sec-xades/src/status.rs:
- Around line 218-222: Update the candidate chain in signed_responses to include
authorities.anchors alongside response certificates and authorities.pool, so
caller-provided trust anchors can authenticate OCSP responses when the anchor
certificate is absent from the response and pool.

Review comments at @interop/xades/README.md:
- Around line 242-243: Update the caveat near the synthetic-root statement to
name the level API, replacing `all_root_requirements_met()` with
`Assessment::all_requirements_met()`; leave the surrounding qualification
unchanged.

Review comments at @src/xmldsig/verify/session/lookup.rs:
- Around line 214-224: Update revocation_verifier to return a verifier whose
check closure enforces the signer key’s SPKI policy, rather than using the bare
ProviderVerifier behavior. Reuse the policy’s rsa_keys and dsa_keys inputs and a
CertificateSession bounded by policy.resources, matching the inputs used by
CertificatePathVerifier::new.

The level fixture generator collected formatted strings, which the
workspace lint set refuses.
- The timestamp token encoding moves from a caller input to
  VerificationPolicy, so one compiled snapshot governs acceptance.
- CRL and OCSP signature checks enforce the RSA/DSA key policy, which
  no certificate path reaches for a configured responder.
- A timestamp signer may come from the document, and an OCSP signer
  from the caller's anchors or configured responders, as tokens and
  responses may omit their certificates.

Each fix carries a regression test seen failing. The level fixtures
are regenerated with two omitted-certificate cases.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Classify timestamp-token encoding changes explicitly.

The new timestamp_token_encoding snapshot reaches this Relaxing fallback. When an effective policy changes from Ber to Declared, diff reports a relaxation, although token_encoding treats Declared as the restrictive choice. Add both directions to direction so rollout reports describe this setting correctly.

- The path unit tests and the WebAssembly smoke follow the adapter API
  without std and without the removed token profile input.
- Moving to the Declared token encoding reports as restrictive, as
  profile composition already treats it. A regression test covers both
  directions.
