Welcome to Apache Santuario

The Project

The Apache Santuario project is aimed at providing implementation of the primary security standards for XML:

• XML-Signature Syntax and Processing
• XML Encryption Syntax and Processing.

Two libraries are currently available.

• XML Security Java: This library includes a mature Digital Signature and Encryption implementation. It also includes the standard JSR 105 (Java XML Digital Signature) API. Applications can use the standard JSR 105 API or the Apache Santuario API to create and validate XML Signatures.
• XML Security C++: This library includes a mature Digital Signature and Encryption implementation using a proprietary C++ API on top of the Xerces-C XML Parser's DOM API. It includes a pluggable cryptographic layer, but support for alternatives to OpenSSL are less complete and less mature.
