| Provides classes for implementing XML Encryption applications. There are two |
| main families of classes in this package. The first group of classes is an |
| XML Schema to Java mapping of the complex types and elements of the |
| XML Encryption Schema as outllined at <a |
| href="http://www.w3.org/Encryption/2001/Drafts/xmlenc-core/">XML Encrtypyion |
| Specification</a>. The second group of classes are used to perform encryption |
| operations, and to manipulate the first group of classes. The most important |
| classes in this second group is <code><a |
| href="file://./org/apache/xml/security/encryption/XMLCipher.html">XMLCipher</a></code>, |
| <code><a |
| href="file://./org/apache/xml/security/encryption/XMLEncryptionFactory.html">XMLEncryptionFactory</a></code> |
| and <code>XMLSerializer</code>. <code>XMLCipher</code> was designed to resemble |
| <code>javax.crypto.Cipher</code>. The aforementioned classes were desinged |
| with ease-of-use and configurability in mind. Becuase of this, the programmer |
| may at times be exposed to lower level programming tasks. This library strives |
| to be as simple as possible to use, but no simpler.<br> |
