Online Security Using XML signatures

The XML-Signature framework is application-independent and supports signing of any content type, XML or non-XML, as long as that content can be addressed across the Internet, extranet or intranet via Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI). XML-DSig defines procedures for binding cryptographic signatures to one or more URI-addressable local or network resource and for validating those signatures. XML-DSig also specifies XML syntax for defining signature blocks that can be embedded in all content types.
