This proposal is to define and incorporate the high level implementation independent Java APIs. Sun Microsystems Expert Group Not Yet Formed. I would like to join this Expert Group. An XML Signature may be applied to the content of one or more resources. The XML Digital Signature specification also includes other useful types that identify methods for referencing collections of resources, algorithms, and keying and management information.
Today there is no standard of APIs for XML digital signatures services.
This JSR provides a Java API to the XML Digital Signature services. There is no existing specification in JDK 2 SDK for accessing XML Digital Signature via a standard set of APIs. Such an application must specify additional key, algorithm, processing and rendering requirements and developers must give consideration to their application threat models. Please describe the anticipated schedule for the development of this specification. Please include links to the documents if they are publicly available.
