W3C Approves XML-based Digital Signatures

By Internetweek.com


The World Wide Web Consortium today approved an XML-based language for digital signatures, a technology that will improve security mechanisms for emerging Web services.

The W3C issued XML-Signature Syntax and Processing as a W3C Recommendation, which means it has been reviewed by W3C membership and is ready for widespread adoption.

XML Signature offers basic data integrity and authentication tools that will be used to build more secure Web services.
