XML Encryption is a new standard defined by W3C, which defines the encryption of data, afterwards representing it as XML. It can encrypt virtually any type of data, including arbitrary data, an XML element and an XML element content.
The result of the data encryption is an XML document, which contains the encrypted data or a link to it. It has been called XML encryption or XML-enc because an XML element refers to or contains the cipher text, keyring information and the algorithms used for encrypting the data. For deciphering the encrypted data, XML
In a minority opinion, Eve Maler and Paul Grosso suggest that "that XPointer would benefit from offering the option of a much more modest feature set."
Maler and Grosso propose something much smaller than the complete XPointer proposal, "along the lines of our FIXptr proposal (W3C member only), that accords with the deployment and implementation patterns seen to date."
FIXptr has apparently seen independent implementation, at much lower cost than full XPointer implementation:
"It may be worth noting that several of the vendors involved in
This document specifies a process for encrypting data and representing the result in XML. The data may be arbitrary data (including an XML document), an XML element, or XML element content. The result of encrypting data is an XML Encryption element which contains or references the cipher data.This document is the W3C XML Encryption Recommendation (REC). This document has been reviewed by W3C Members and other interested parties and has been endorsed by the Director as a W3C Recommendation. It is a stable document and may be used as reference material or
This document specifies version 1 of the Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL 1.0, pronounced “smile”). SMIL allows integrating a set of independent multimedia objects into a synchronized multimedia presentation. Using SMIL, an author can:
describe the temporal behavior of the presentation
describe the layout of the presentation on a screen
associate hyperlinks with media objects
This specification is structured as follows: Section 2 presents the specification approach. Section 2 defines the “smil” element. Section 3
