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

XMLSec 0.0.5 released:
- Big external and internal cleanup. Now the API looks much more consistent
and I hope simple. I hope to declare API frozen in the next couple weeks.
Meantime, all comments and suggestions are welcome!
- Added
symmetric key wrap (aes, des) support.
- Added RIPEMD-160 support.

Minor release XMLSec 0.0.4
with main goal to fix broken RPM:
- The RPM is recompiled using OpenSSL 0.9.6. The previous version was
compiled with OpenSSL 0.9.7 but I got few complains that there are no RPMs
for 0.9.7 yet. The downsides of using 0.9.6 are some functionality limitations
for XML Encryption (no AES support, incorrect padding mode for DES, etc.).
If you want to use XML Encryption it is better to compile the library from
sources and use OpenSSL 0.9.7
- The testDSig, testEnc and testKeys scripts merged into standalone
"xmlsec" application.
- A couple minor bugs fixed.

Installed
xmlsec mailing list.

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.
