<title>The Project</title>
<p>
The XML Security project is aimed at providing implementation of
security standards for XML. Currently the focus is on the W3C
standards :
</p>
<ul>
<li><jump href="http://www.w3.org/Signature/">
XML-Signature Syntax and Processing; and</jump>
</li>
<li><jump href="http://www.w3.org/Encryption/2001/">
XML Encryption Syntax and Processing.</jump></li>
</ul>
<p>
Once these are implemented,
<jump href="http://www.w3.org/2001/XKMS">XML Key Management</jump>
is likely to be the next focus for the project.
</p>
<p>
Two libraries are currently available.
</p>
<ol>
<li>A Java library, which includes a mature Digital Signature
implementation. Encryption is currently under development.</li>
<li>A C++ library is also now available. Functionality is currently
more basic than that provided by the Java library.</li>
</ol>
