Hello Mailinglist,

I want to develop a fileformat based on XML. Some parts of the file must be encrypted. A signature should be attached to warn the user that the file was externly changed and my not work with our application.

In the internet I have searched for an XML parser with encryption and found Xmlsec. But what doese Xmlsec+Libxml2 for me? 1. There is an Xml file with encrypted parts. Who doese the decryption? Xmlsec? The only thing I have to implement is a secure place for the decryption keys. Right?

2. Who doese the signatur thing? Who creates it, who checks it? Are this tasks automated within Xmlsec?

3. Libxml is a validating parser. With encryption and signature features are comming a lot of extra XML elements. (According to the standard how enc and sig must be implemented). Must I put this elements into the schema? If yes, is there a schema creating program that doese this work for me? Altova Xml-Spy doesnt.


Best wishes

Mike
