Applications


You can use the XML Security library to sign and encrypt XML documents for use in your own applications. You need to decide which points in your system’s work flow need to add the security mechanisms allowed by XML Signature and XML Encryption. You should also be aware of interoperability issues when you exchange data with other applications.

One of the biggest applications for XML Security is implementing the functionality specified by the WS-Security specification for Web services. This important set of standards will improve the security of Web services applications. To get a preview of how this functionality might be implemented in Axis using XML Security, you can look at the security sample in the Axis distribution, which uses XML Security to implement the older SOAP-SEC extensions for digital signatures.
