Dear XML Security Working Group, I am a student currently preparing a talk on ES-Security and therefore XML-Encryption. I first tried to send this email to Joseph Reagle, one of the listed editors. I got an automailresponse response that he no longer works for the w3c so this is my next try. If I am not mistaken I found a little error (or better said: typo) in the standard located at:http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlenc-core/ The error is in the example at the beginning of section 2.2.1 (EncryptedData with Symmetric Key), the example reads: [s1]<EncryptedData xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#' Type='http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#Element'/> [s2]<EncryptionMethod Algorithm='http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#tripledes-cbc'/> [s3]<ds:KeyInfo xmlns:ds='http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#'> [s4]<ds:KeyName>John Smith</ds:KeyName> [s5]</ds:KeyInfo> [s6]<CipherData><CipherValue>DEADBEEF</CipherValue></CipherData> [s7]</EncryptedData> The EncryptedData element at [s1] must not be empty (as it also gets closed at [s7]). I also didn't find this error in the errata. Kind Regards, Tobias Pfeiffer
