Re: Indicating certificate order in XML Dig Sig

Marcos

No there is currently no such definition of certificate order in XML Signature.

I believe this question was answered correctly on the aleksey xmlsec development list in the message after the one you quoted, which is why I didn't join the discussion:

This is not part of the XML Security specifications but rather how certs are defined and used. The cert itself can indicate its purpose.
