ISSUE-162: Need to reconcile new 2.0 processing model/transform with legacy Object/Manifest material

Need to reconcile new 2.0 processing model/transform with legacy Object/Manifest material

State:

CLOSED

Product:

XML Signature 2.0

Raised by:

Scott Cantor

Opened on:

2010-01-05

Description:

The old spec includes several features related to unusual wrapping and referencing of content to sign, and this material is inconsistent with the new text on selection.

Will reliable determination of Object element type and encoding be possible under 2.0 Transform?

In XML Signature 1.1 the following discussion is relevant:

http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/Drafts/xmldsig-core-11/Overview.htm#sec-Object

specifically, [[ Applications which require normative type and encoding information for signature validation should specify Transforms with well defined resulting types and/or encodings. ]]

The Signature 2.0 will only have one transform, so transforms will typically not be used to determine type and encoding for Object. Another means should be provided, or normative language updated appropriately.
