Interface SignedInfo

All Superinterfaces:: XMLStructure

public interface SignedInfo extends XMLStructure

An representation of the XML SignedInfo element as defined in the W3C Recommendation for XML-Signature Syntax and Processing. The XML Schema Definition is defined as:

<element name="SignedInfo" type="ds:SignedInfoType"/>
<complexType name="SignedInfoType">
  <sequence>
    <element ref="ds:CanonicalizationMethod"/>
    <element ref="ds:SignatureMethod"/>
    <element ref="ds:Reference" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
  </sequence>
  <attribute name="Id" type="ID" use="optional"/>
</complexType>

A SignedInfo instance may be created by invoking one of the newSignedInfo methods of the XMLSignatureFactory class.

Since:

1.6
