| Proposal |
Usage Scenario |
| none: data is not canonicalized, bytestream
is derived from the sequence of characters in their native encoding starting with
"<SignedInfo..." |
simple signatures over simple data where XML functionality (including
"Infoset parsing") is at a minimum. |
| simple: data
is canonicalized such that: (a) converting from the input encoding to UTF-8 and (b)
normalizing the new lines to UTF-8 0x0A |
ensures that encodings and new lines are not changed in transit. |
| XML: data is canonicalized according to
Canonical-XML/Infoset/DOM. |
Needed for XML parsing and Infoset/DOM processing |
