This application is a tool that can provide security to the XML documents by providing safety measures such as digital signature, encryption and access control. / These features are beyond the capability of transport-level security protocols such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The goals in creating this technology were to contribute to standards development by providing sample implementations and to supply advanced technologies to partners and developers and to gather their input. / Three technologies are included in XML Security Suite: / ? Digital signature implementation based on "XML-Signature Syntax and Processing" by W3C/IETF / ? XML encryption implementation based on "XML Encryption Syntax and Processing" by W3C / ? XML Access Control Language and implementation /
