public interface XMLSignature extends XMLStructure
Signature
element as
defined in the
W3C Recommendation for XML-Signature Syntax and Processing.
This class contains methods for signing and validating XML signatures
with behavior as defined by the W3C specification. The XML Schema Definition
is defined as:
<element name="Signature" type="ds:SignatureType"/>
<complexType name="SignatureType">
<sequence>
<element ref="ds:SignedInfo"/>
<element ref="ds:SignatureValue"/>
<element ref="ds:KeyInfo" minOccurs="0"/>
<element ref="ds:Object" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</sequence>
<attribute name="Id" type="ID" use="optional"/>
</complexType>
An XMLSignature
instance may be created by invoking one of the
newXMLSignature
methods of the
XMLSignatureFactory
class.
If the contents of the underlying document containing the
XMLSignature
are subsequently modified, the behavior is
undefined.
Note that this class is named XMLSignature
rather than
Signature
to avoid naming clashes with the existing
java.security.Signature
class.
