Abstract: This document lists the design principles, scope, and requirements for the XML Digital Signature specification. It includes requirements as they relate to the signature syntax, data model, format, cryptographic processing, and external requirements and coordination. Status of this document: This Working Draft of XML Signature Requirements is a very stable result of this Working Draft having been advanced through W3C Last Call. Relatively small changes have been made to clarify the stated requirements during that period. This document will

The XML Key Management Specification (XKMS) initiative was jointly developed by VeriSign, Microsoft and WebMethods as an open standard to simplify the securing of XML-based Internet transactions using PKI and digital certificates. The ability to secure all Web Services communications and transactions is critical for the success of Web Services in the enterprise. With XKMS, developers can integrate authentication, digital signature, and encryption services, such as certificate processing and revocation status checking, into applications in a matter of

XKMS helps make security manageable Introduction: The XML Key Management Specification (XKMS) outlines an easy mechanism for accessing and integrating with Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). In this article, Manish Verma explains the objective behind XKMS and then offers a step-by-step guide to using the XKMS service to register and retrieve information related to a public and/or private key. With an ever-increasing number of people and businesses relying on the Internet to exchange confidential and sensitive information, security has become a

W3C Recommendation 12 February 2002: Abstract This document specifies XML digital signature processing rules and syntax.
