Project summary

Widespread use of the Web has pushed the rapid development of the standards for all kinds of information. XML (Extensible Markup Language) has emerged as a prevalent standard for document representation and exchange on the Web. An XML Web service is a Web-based application that accepts requests from different systems across the Internet through the application of Web technology including XML, HTTP. While XML Web services are an increasingly successful paradigm for the rapid development of complex Web based applications, the security about development of XML Web services is becoming more and more important. This project is to explore a security technique to secure XML documents with signatures.
