XML encryption is a flexible building block. It uses the KeyInfo element defined in XMLDSIG plus some extensions. This element as contents defined for X.509, PGP, and SPKI stuff as well as lots of other kinds of keys, key identifiers, a key agreement method, etc., and provisions for extension. If you want to understand XML encryption or signatures, there is really no alternative to reading the standards (or my book :-) ).
