Description

Verifies, signs, encrypts, and decrypts XML data for applications that rely on XML Security standards. It is used by developers and administrators working with signed documents, identity systems, SOAP services, or other integrations where XML integrity and trust must be checked.

Cryptographic XML handling is sensitive: wrong keys, untrusted certificates, or weak validation rules can make signed data appear safer than it is. Most users receive this package as a dependency of software that already knows how to use it.
