Hello,
In http://www.aleksey.com/xmlsec/api/xmlsec-examples-sign-x509.html

Before siging a node,

    /* load private key, assuming that there is not password */
    dsigCtx->signKey = xmlSecCryptoAppKeyLoad(key_file,
xmlSecKeyDataFormatPem, NULL, NULL, NULL);
    if(dsigCtx->signKey == NULL) {
        fprintf(stderr,"Error: failed to load private pem key from
\"%s\"\n", key_file);
        goto done;
    }

    /* load certificate and add to the key */
    if(xmlSecCryptoAppKeyCertLoad(dsigCtx->signKey, cert_file,
xmlSecKeyDataFormatPem) < 0) {
        fprintf(stderr,"Error: failed to load pem certificate
\"%s\"\n", cert_file);
        goto done;
    }


I wonder whether the second step (load certificate) is needed for signing?
In principle, private key is enough, right?  I also test with loading
certificate and without loading certificate, both signature can be verified.

Appretiate in advance
