The status/design of XML Signatures and Encryption, Key Management

Algorithm identifiers are URIs: extensible, with a few (patent unencumbered) required to implement:

Type	Algorithm	Requirements
Block Encryption	AES/3DES	REQUIRED
Key Transport	AES-RSA-OEAP 3DES-RSA-v1.5	REQUIRED
MAC	AES/3DES with SHA1	OPTIONAL
Signature	XML Signature	OPTIONAL
(Exclusive) Canonicalization	Canonical XML	OPTIONAL
Compression et al	n/a
