FYI, the W3C has issued a last call for comments on several proposals related to XML encryption. More info at:

http://www.w3.org/Encryption/2001/

Since I know a good number of folks on this list are interested in encryption and Internet communication, I thought I would pass it along as it involves encrypting XML, much of which will no doubt be passed across the Internet.

The specific documents are at:

XML Encryption Requirements http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-encryption-req

This document lists the design principles, scope, and requirements for the XML Encryption. It includes requirements as they relate to the encryption syntax, data model, format, cryptographic processing, and external requirements and coordination.

XML Encryption Syntax and Processing http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlenc-core/

This document specifies a process for encrypting data and representing the result in XML. The data may be arbitrary data (including an XML document), an XML element, or XML element content. The result of encrypting data is an XML Encryption element which contains or references the cipher data.

Decryption Transform for XML Signature http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlenc-decrypt

This document specifies the "decryption transform", which enables XML Signatures verification even if both signature and encryption operations are performed on an XML document.
