Hi Anders, Please take look at the following extension at (s: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4522 I have mentioned this extension in response to your comments on my KeyManager extension. It my first effort in supporting XML based security protocols - XML based signature processing is one of the key requirements. My ultimate goal is to implement W3C spec for XML based Key Management using Mozilla only code base.
Since I could not find support for W3C XML canonicalization in Mozilla DOM, I have used Apache XML library as a place holder for future implementation of XML canonicalization in Mozilla DOM.
