signed soap xml to be posted to an url. The partner provided me with their
public key.and will post me a response can any one please help me how to
approach this .if possible send me some links or relevant code i could use
and approach this method.
thanks
param.

Hello Param,

From your description, you're going to do some message signing against a
certain webservice's soap message, correct?

As for message signing, do you mean perform encryption or digit signing on
the webservice SOAP message. Generally, given the public key, we can only
encrypt message or use it to verify digital signature on the received
message, but can not perform digit signing. Do you mean you want to use the
given public to verify the signed message from your partner?

If so, you need to get how your partner will sign the webservice SOAP
message ,will it use any existing component like WSE or manually use XML
signing/encrypt API to sign part of the SOAP message. There're existing
classes in .net framework which can help perform XML encryption and
signing.

Please feel free to let me know if there is anything else I missed.

Sincerely,
