XSECT

IAIK XML Security Toolkit (XSECT) implements the upcoming APIs for the Java™ platform

XML Digital Signatures APIs for the Java™ platform
XML Digtial Encryption APIs for the Java™ platform

as specified by the Java™ Specification Request JSR#105 and JSR#106 respectively.

XSECT enables Java™ developers to easily integrate the processing of XML Signatures according to the joint IETF/W3C recommendation XML-Signature Syntax and Processing (XMLDSig) (12 February 2002) and XML Encryption according to the W3C recommendation XML Encryption Syntax and Processing (XMLEnc) (10 December 2002) into their applications.

The IAIK XML Security Toolkit (XSECT) is the successor of the IAIK XML Signature Library (IXSIL).

XSECT implements the XML Digital Signature APIs for the Java™ platform and XML DigitalEncryption APIs for the Java™ platform as defined in the Java™ Specification Request 105 and Java™ Specification Request 106 , respectively.

Supported Java™ Versions

XSECT supports all Java™ versions since JDK 1.2.1. and has been successfully tested with the follwing Java™ versions JDK 1.2.1, JDK 1.3.1, JDK 1.4.2, JDK 1.5.0, JDK 1.6.0

Supported Algorithms

XSECT supports all required and many optional algorithms of XML-Signature Syntax and Processing (XMLDSig) and XML Encryption Syntax and Processing (XMLEnc) . In addition it supports many of the algorithms specified in RFC4051 . For a complete list of supported algorithms see features .
