As XML becomes a predominant means of linking blocks
of information together, there is a requirement to secure specific
information. That is to allow authorized entities access to specific
information and prevent access to that specific information from
unauthorized entities. Current methods on the Internet include password
protection, smart card, PKI, tokens and a variety of other schemes.
These typically solve the problem of accessing the site from
unauthorized users, but do not provide mechanisms for the protection of
specific information from all those who have authorized access to the
site.
Now that XML is being used to provide
searchable and organized information there is a sense of urgency to
provide a standard to protect certain parts or elements from
unauthorized access. The objective of XML encryption is to provide a
standard methodology that prevents unauthorized access to specific
information within an XML document.
