XML Security 2.0 specifications updated

Aleksey

The W3C XML Security WG has just published updated drafts of the 2.0 XML Security specifications, including Canonical XML 2.0 [1], XML Signature 2.0 [2]  and the XML Signature Streaming Profile of XPath 1.0 [3].

These documents are still under revision and have not yet reached the W3C Last Call stage, but we anticipate they will soon this fall.

That said, the documents are starting to stabilize and we would appreciate any early review and comment you might have. The published drafts provide a summary of changes from the previous version. We are also interested in your thoughts on conformance requirements and optionality of features in these documents, in particular canonicalization parameters.

We have also published a update to the XML Signature Best Practices [4] and XML Security RELAX NG schema  [5] notes.

Please let us know of any comment or concerns.

Thanks

regards, Frederick

Frederick Hirsch, Nokia
Chair XML Security WG
