XML Signature

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The XML signature ( XML-Sig , also XML-DSig , XMLDsig ) is a specification to be able to use existing digital signatures in XML notation. It is used in many advanced web standards such as SOAP , SAML or the German online banking system FinTS .

With XML signatures data each type to be signed, unless they have been embedded in the XML document signature or a URL can be addressed - the former is a signature enveloped , the latter as detached (detached) signature referred.
