Applying XML Encryption
Encrypting XML Data
Use strong ciphers to ensure the privacy of data.
For efficiency purposes, encrypt sensitive data only in the XML document.
Instead of encrypting it, remove sensitive data the recipient doesn’t need.
Applying XML Digital Signatures
Signing XML Data
Use strong asymmetrical algorithms to ensure the privacy of data.
Validate the signature of signed documents.
Use encryption for sending private data. Digital signatures do not make a document private; they validate the document’s integrity.
