Re: Secure XKMS request and XKMS response

Hi Andy,

XKMS does provide a mechanism to sign requests and responses, you can 
find it in
section 3.1.1 "Type MesageAbstractType". The machanism is based on
XML-Signtaure, on its element <ds:Signature>.

To find examples, I can generate and send you some if you want, but I 
don't know
if there are any example on the web.

Regards!
