3 RECs, 13 WG Notes published - 11 April 2013

The XML Security WG has published  3 RECs and 13 WG Notes dated 11 April 2013.  

All include updated references, including updated cross-references, as well as some bug fixes in the Notes. XML Signature 1.1, XML Signature 2.0 and XML Security Algorithm Cross-Reference have also been updated to reference RFC 6931 [RFC6931] which obsoletes  RFC 4051 (XML Security URIs). Please see the status sections of the documents for details.

The three Recommendations are:

1.  "XML Encryption Syntax and Processing Version 1.1" [1]

2.  "XML Signature Syntax and Processing Version 1.1" [2]

3. "XML Signature Properties" [3]

The 7 Working Group Notes related to 1.1 are:

a) "XML Security 1.1 Requirements and Design Considerations" , [a]

b) "Functional Explanation of Changes in XML Signature 1.1", [b]

c) "Functional Explanation of Changes in XML Encryption 1.1" , [c]

d) "XML Security Algorithm Cross-Reference" , [d]

e)  "XML Security Generic Hybrid Ciphers" ,  [e]

f) "XML Security RELAX NG Schemas" , [f]

g)  "XML Signature Best Practices" , [g]

The 6 Working Group Notes related to 2.0 are:

i) "XML Security 2.0 Requirements and Design Considerations" , [i]

ii) "Canonical XML Version 2.0" , [ii]

iii) "XML Signature Syntax and Processing Version 2.0" [iii]

iv) " XML Signature Streaming Profile of XPath 1.0" [iv]

v) "XML Encryption 1.1 CipherReference Processing using 2.0 Transforms " [v]

vi) "Test cases for Canonical XML 2.0" [vi]

I have updated the XML Security Publications page [A], Roadmap [B] and public page [C] accordingly.

Thanks to everyone in the Working Group for their hard work in creating these Recommendations and Working Group Notes, and special thanks to Thomas Roessler, Denis Ah-Kang and the W3C team for  enabling us to do this work.

Thanks

regards, Frederick
