About XML Security
------------------
The XML Security project is an implementation of
security related XML standards. Currently, it includes
- implementations of W3C recommendations "Canonical XML"
- and "XML Signature Syntax and Processing". It also
- includes a beta implementation of "XML Encryption
- Syntax and Processing".
+ 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.
+ contents. You can use the standard JSR 105 (Java XML
+ Digital Signature) API or the non-standard Apache XMLSec API.
- You can now also use the library to encrypt and decrypt
- portions of XML documents.
+ You can also use the library to encrypt and decrypt

-The ant make tools initiates an automated download of the BouncyCastle JCE.
