XML Digital Signature

Description

The XML Signature is a method of associating a key with referenced data (octets). XML Signatures can be applied to arbitrary digital content (data objects), including XML, via an indirection. An XML Signature may be applied to the content of one or more resources. Data objects are digested, the resulting value is placed in an element (with other information) and that element is then digested and cryptographically signed.
