Abstract: This document lists the design principles, scope, and requirements for the XML Digital Signature specification. It includes requirements as they relate to the signature syntax, data model, format, cryptographic processing, and external requirements and coordination. Status of this document: This Working Draft of XML Signature Requirements is a very stable result of this Working Draft having been advanced through W3C Last Call. Relatively small changes have been made to clarify the stated requirements during that period. This document will

The W3C recommendation allows any digital data to be signed, and this includes an XML document, an XML element of a document, and the content of an XML element as particular cases. When we talk about an XML signature, we are actually referring to an XML document, which contains the Signature (defined in the namespace http://www.w3.org/2000/09/XMLdsig#) as one element (which may be the root element). But the document may also contain other elements, among which the most important are, of course, the original data objects being signed. Depending on

[April 06, 2004] W3C Releases Candidate Recommendations for XML Key Management Specification (XKMS 2.0). The W3C XKMS Working Group has addressed Last Call issues relating to the April 18, 2003 XKMS Working Draft and has now approved publication of Candidate Recommendations for XML Key Management Specification (XKMS 2.0) and XML Key Management Specification (XKMS 2.0) Bindings. The XKMS Candidate Recommendation period will last for at least six months in order for the WG to collect implementation feedback and evaluate implementation experience.

Summary: The W3C XML Key Management Working Group has released a Proposed Recommendation for the XKMS specification version 2.0, including XML Key Management Specification (XKMS 2.0) and XML Key Management Specification (XKMS 2.0) Bindings. The Working Group invites review and public comment on the PR through June 03, 2005. Operating within the W3C Technology and Society Domain, the XML Key Management (XKMS) Activity "specifies protocols for distributing and registering public keys, suitable for use with the standard for XML Signatures defined by
