Hello Aleksey,
  Can I patch xmlsec to cleanup the decrypted text before passing it on to 
xmlParseInNodeContext.  If so where should this code be inserted ?

thanks,
   Michael

Hm... I don't think you can do anything about this. At least,
not easily. xmlsec calls xmlParseInNodeContext from libxml2
and it expects a well formed XML. You can patch both libraries and
specify encoding manually though.

I am AES decoding some <EncryptedData> containing strings that was not utf-8

When I decode the <EncryptedData> I get the error....

Entity: line 4: parser error : Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding !

The call to xmlSecEncCtxDecrypt(encCtx, enc_node) fails because of this utf-8 problem. There are other tags encrypted between the <EncryptedData> tags (other than this one that has a problem) than I cannot recover because of this failure. Is there a way of forcing the xmlsec/libxml to ignore the utf-8 problem ? I have no control of the encrypted data so I cannot correct the original problem.
