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.

• Apache XML Security for Java: This library includes the standard JSR-105 (Java XML Digital Signature) API,  a mature DOM-based implementation of both XML Signature and XML Encryption, as well as a more recent StAX-based (streaming) XML Signature and XML Encryption implementation.
• Apache XML Security for 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.
