I had memory problems signing big XMLs, so I decided to make my own specific XML signature algorithm that works with an specific "home made JAXB", i finished it today and i discoverd two things,
one is that it signs faster than 1.04, but identical to 1.1, but of course much more less flexible,
about memory ...
the version 1.1 still uses a lot of memory, but I don�t know in which step, it�s not the C14n transformation, because I don�t apply any transformation at all,
Yes, but unless the result of dereferencing your reference URI is a byte stream, there will be an implicit C14n transformation to convert the nodeset to bytes before the digesting is done. See section 4.3.3.5 of the W3C rec: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/#sec-DigestMethod
