XML Digital Signature Tool

XML Digital Signature Tool is a Firefox add-on for processing Digital Signature in XML documents(Please read the installation instruction in the "Advanced Details" section before downloading) XML Digital Signature Tool is a Firefox add-on for processing Digital Signature in XML documents (follows the W3C specification for XML-Signature Syntax and Processing ). The XML digital signature tool is built on top of Apache XML security C library (version 1.3), called XSEC. We made no changes to XSEC source code. We just compiled the source with NSS option to provide cryptographic functionality using browser`s certificate database. The recompiled XSEC library is packaged with the XPI file for this add-on. This tool provides an XPCOM-IDL based wrapper around C++ based Apache XML security library. Our XPCOM-IDL based API allows any Firefox based extension to access XSEC library using JavaScript and C++. This tool also provides XUL based GUI for specifying various parameters for signing XML files and verifying signed XML files. In addition, the tool provides following features:- Encryption And Decryption of XML documents (follows the W3C spec for XML Encryption Syntax and Processing)- ability to generate Self-Issued SAML Token (both v1.1 and v2.0) using the RSA/DSA keys in the browser`s certificate DB. The SAML Token generation is implemented using our XPCOM based component for signing and encryption of XML documents.- XPCOM based API for UUID generation. The XPCOM implementation reuses the UUID generation source code in the RFC4122. We have adapted the UUID generation code code in RFC4122 for Mozilla NSS based digest and added string based UUID API.- Signing of HTML document and verification of signed HTML pages - follows W3C HTML Signing Profile For more information: http://pubs.research.avayalabs.com/pdfs/ALR-2007-013.pdf Note: Please download and install Apache XML libraries before installing this add-on.
