XML Signature and Encryption Workshop Report

The report of the Workshop on Next Steps for XML Signature and XML Encryption is available. The report shows strong interest in additional work on XML security at W3C. A basic signature profile, the referencing and transform models, updating the set of supported cryptographic algorithms, and revisiting XML canonicalization were seen as highest priority among the several topics identified by the participants. The Workshop was held in September in Mountain View, CA, USA, hosted by VeriSign and chaired by Frederick Hirsch (Nokia) and Thomas Roessler (W3C).
