Exploring XML Encryption

Posted by Hemos on from the the-ways-things-work dept.

PeterMan writes "Here's a good XML Encription article that examines the usage model of XML Encryption with the help of a use case scenario. It presents a simple demo application, explaining how it uses the XML Encryption implementation. It then continues with the use of JCA/JCE classes to support cryptography. Finally, It discusses the applications of XML Encryption in SOAP-based Web services."

    How are you going to be able to process large amounts of XML data?

    Think about the massive, bloated overhead already associated with XML... now you are going to encrypt individual elements of XML with a variety of different schemes?

    This whole XML thing seems to be Intel's wet dream come true.
