What programming languange do I choose for developing > encryptor and decryptor ? The "XML Encryption Syntax and processing" specification does not mandate a specific programming language! It's up to you whether you use C++, Perl, Java, Phyton or Assembler. Of cource, you have to choose a language that offers you the opportunity to get nice XML tools for it. Many people who want to implement demonstration programs in the field of XML or cryptography prefer JAVA because of it's nice XML tools (http://xml.apache.org/) and it's support for plugging in cryptographic providers (http://java.sun.com/products/jce/ or something similar). It's YOUR choice. > 2. What best algorithms do I choose for developing encryptor > and decryptor on Table of Algorithm in Section 5 ? Hm? The only class of algorithms that is not specified is the stream cipher section. When the spec talks about things like RSA-OAEP, AES-128-CBC or Triple-DES-CBC, this IS the name of the algorithm to be used? Maybe I misunderstood the question? Christian
