invalid padding error when using signature_algorithm=SignatureMethod.SHA256_RSA_MGF1

[rahxam]

Hello,

When using signature_algorithm=SignatureMethod.SHA256_RSA_MGF1 the signature cannot be verified.

If I remove signature_algorithm=SignatureMethod.SHA256_RSA_MGF1 the signature can be validated fine.

import os
from lxml import etree
from signxml import XMLSigner, XMLVerifier, InvalidCertificate, SignatureMethod, DigestAlgorithm, CanonicalizationMethod

current_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
ca_cert_file = os.path.join(current_path, "public_cert.pem")
cert = open(ca_cert_file).read()
key = open(os.path.join(current_path, "private_key.pem")).read()

data_to_sign = '<Test />'
root = etree.fromstring(data_to_sign)
signer = XMLSigner(signature_algorithm=SignatureMethod.SHA256_RSA_MGF1, digest_algorithm=DigestAlgorithm.SHA256, c14n_algorithm=CanonicalizationMethod.EXCLUSIVE_XML_CANONICALIZATION_1_0  )
signed_root = signer.sign(root, key=key, cert=cert)
try:
    verified_data = XMLVerifier().verify(signed_root, ca_pem_file=ca_cert_file)
except InvalidCertificate as e:
    print(e)
else:
    print('verified signature')

Error message:
