XML Security v1.0.0 Released
---------------------
  We are proud to announce the 1.0.0 final
  release of the XML Security package.

About XML Security
------------------
  The XML Security project is an implementation of
  security related XML standards. Currently, it includes
  implementations of W3C recommendations "Canonical XML"
  and "XML Signature Syntax and Processing".

  Basically, this means that you can use this software
  for creating and verifying digital signatures which
  are expressed in XML and sign both XML and/or arbitrary
  contents.

For more information about the XML Security project, please go to
http://xml.apache.org/security/

For more information about XML Signature, go to
http://www.w3.org/Signature/

For pointers about XML Security in general, please go to

   The libraries are available under http://xml.apache.org/ .
   It requires

     The distibution uses the BounceCastle JCE as a default provider.
     When you first start ant for compiling, the JCE JAR is downloaded
     from http://www.bouncycastle.org/ . This hook is included to
     circumvent US export restrictions.
