30 Classes for generating and validating XML digital
31 signatures. This package includes classes that represent the core elements
32 defined in the W3C XML digital signature specification:
33 {@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.XMLSignature XMLSignature},
34 {@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.SignedInfo SignedInfo},
35 {@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.CanonicalizationMethod CanonicalizationMethod},
36 {@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.SignatureMethod SignatureMethod},
37 {@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.Reference Reference},
38 {@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.DigestMethod DigestMethod},
39 {@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.XMLObject XMLObject},
40 {@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.Manifest Manifest},
41 {@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.SignatureProperties SignatureProperties}, and
42 {@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.SignatureProperty SignatureProperty}.
43 <code>KeyInfo</code> types
44 are defined in the {@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.keyinfo} subpackage.
45 {@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.XMLSignatureFactory XMLSignatureFactory}
46 is an abstract factory that creates
47 {@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.XMLSignature XMLSignature} objects from scratch
48 or from a pre-existing XML representation, such as a DOM node.
49 {@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.TransformService} is a service provider
50 interface for creating and plugging in implementations of
51 transform and canonicalization algorithms.
52
53 <p>Of primary significance in this package is the
54 {@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.XMLSignature XMLSignature} class,
55 which allows you to sign and validate an XML digital signature.
