Yes, but you will have to use one of the following APIs: 1. javax.xml.crypto.dsig.TransformService if you are using the JSR 105 API 2. org.apache.xml.security.c14n.Canonicalizer Use one of these APIs to canonicalize the node-set, and then use a java.security.MessageDigest or java.security.DigestOutputStream to digest the resulting bytes. --Sean
