XML Security Library
XMLSec is a C library based on LibXML2
and OpenSSL
. This library was created with a goal to support major XML security
standards:
This library is released under the
MIT Licence
see the Copyright file in the distribution for details.
News

Test suite updates and new minor release XMLSec 0.0.2a.
New
interoperability tests
were provided by Merlin Hughes. XML Security Library successfully passed
all tests after small test program tweaking and adding workaround
for
OpenSSL CRL problem.
These new tests are included into the distribution and previous Merlin's test suites
are removed. Because of these changes I decided
to generate a new package that also will include the Online XML
Digital Signature Verifier code.
- April 3 2002
The Online XML Digital Signature Verifier
is available! You can use this tool to verify your XML Digital Signatures
from online Web form or using a simple Perl script. The idea was stolen from
Manoj K. Srivastava
.

Some major changes and a time for new release:
XMLSec 0.0.2
. Now XMLSec supports all MUST/SHOULD/MAY
features
from XMLDSig standard!
- Added X509 certificates and certificate chains support
- The detailed signature generation/verification results are made available
to the application (see example 3
)
- RetrievalMethod, Manifests and
additional algorithms
are added
- The Transforms and KeyInfo code was significantly re-writen with a goal
to separate it from XMLDSig logic for better re-usability (in XML Encryption,
etc.)
- March 18 2002
- Fixed wrong way shift of the DSA digest result bug found by Philipp
Gühring. This bug is critical and I have to do a
new build.
- Added "--with-pedantic" configuration option and fixed all but "unused
variable" warnings (bug reported by Daniel Veillard).
- March 17 2002
The XMLSec 0.0.1
is released and available for download! Please try it out and send
me your comments/suggestions.
