| XML Security v1.4.3 Released |
| --------------------- |
| We are proud to announce the 1.4.3 final |
| release of the XML Security package. |
| |
| About XML Security |
| ------------------ |
| The XML Security project is an implementation of |
| security related XML standards. Currently, it includes |
| implementations of W3C recommendations "Canonical XML", |
| "Canonical XML 1.1", "XML Signature Syntax and Processing", |
| and "XML Encryption Syntax and Processing". |
| |
| Basically, this means that you can use this software |
| for creating and verifying digital signatures which |
| are expressed in XML and sign both XML and/or arbitrary |
| contents. You can use the standard JSR 105 (Java XML |
| Digital Signature) API or the non-standard Apache XMLSec API. |
| |
| You can also use the library to encrypt and decrypt |
| portions of XML documents. Only the non-standard Apache |
| XMLSec API is supported, as the JSR 106 (Java XML Digital Encryption) |
| API is still in development. |
| |
