Go back to the ONLINE EVENTS PAGE to view upcoming and archived Webcasts.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND? Anyone who wants to understand how XML Signature, XML Encryption and XKMS work from a conceptual point of view. Attendees may submit questions directly to Blake Dournaee after his presentation.

WHY ATTEND? Understanding what an XML Signature is and how it differs from a traditional digital signature. Understand the need for XML Encryption as well as the motivation behind XKMS.

This webcast serves to dispel the mystery behind XML Security standards and relate them to traditional digital signatures. Get answers to the following questions.

• What is an XML Signature and how is it used?
• How does an XML Signature compare to PKCS#7?
• Why is canonicalization necessary for an XML Signature?
• What sorts of security considerations arise from the use of transforms in an XML Signature?
• How can we create an XML Signature that efficiently represents multiple signers?

GUEST BIO: Blake Dournaee, author of "XML Security"
RSA Security, Developer Support Team
Blake Dournaee joined RSA Security's developer support team in 1999, specializing in support and training for the BSAFE(R) line of cryptographic toolkits.
