30Classes for generating and validating XML digital
31signatures. This package includes classes that represent the core elements
32defined in the W3C XML digital signature specification:
33{@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.XMLSignature XMLSignature},
34{@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.SignedInfo SignedInfo},
35{@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.CanonicalizationMethod CanonicalizationMethod},
36{@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.SignatureMethod SignatureMethod},
37{@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.Reference Reference},
38{@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.DigestMethod DigestMethod},
39{@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.XMLObject XMLObject},
40{@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.Manifest Manifest},
41{@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.SignatureProperties SignatureProperties}, and
42{@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.SignatureProperty SignatureProperty}.
43<code>KeyInfo</code> types
44are defined in the {@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.keyinfo} subpackage.
45{@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.XMLSignatureFactory XMLSignatureFactory}
46is an abstract factory that creates
47{@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.XMLSignature XMLSignature} objects from scratch
48or from a pre-existing XML representation, such as a DOM node.
49{@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.TransformService} is a service provider
50interface for creating and plugging in implementations of
51transform and canonicalization algorithms.
52
53<p>Of primary significance in this package is the
54{@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.XMLSignature XMLSignature} class,
55which allows you to sign and validate an XML digital signature.
