XML Security Library News
- April 19 2002
Minor release XMLSec 0.0.4 with main
goal to fix broken RPMS:
- The binary RPM is re-compiled against OpenSSL 0.9.6. The previous
version was compiled against OpenSSL 0.9.7 but I got few complains
that there are no RPMs for 0.9.7 yet. The downside of using 0.9.6 is
some functionality limitations for XML Encryption (no AES supprot,
incorrect padding mode for DES, etc.).
- The testDSig, testEnc and testKeys scripts merged into standalone
"e;xmlsec"e; application.
- A couple minor bugs fixed.
- April 17 2002
Installed
xmlsec mailing list.
- April 16 2002
A lot of changes and time for new release XMLSec 0.0.3:
- The first release that includes XML Encryption support!
The bad news is that most of new features require OpenSSL 0.9.7 which is
not officially released yet.
- Options to enable/disable support for particular algorithms were
added to the ./configure script.
- All transforms header files were consolidated in transforms.h
- April 6 2002
The RPM packages are now available.
- April 5 2002
Test suite updates and new minor release XML Security Library 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:
XML Security Library 0.0.2
. Now XML Security Library 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 XML Security Library 0.0.1
is released and available for download! Please try it out and send
me your comments/suggestions.
