Description

Interface Summary
AgreementMethod | A Key Agreement algorithm provides for the derivation of a shared secret key based on a shared secret computed from certain types of compatible public keys from both the sender and the recipient.
CipherData | `CipherData` provides encrypted data.
CipherReference | `CipherReference` identifies a source which, when processed, yields the encrypted octet sequence.
CipherValue | `CipherValue` is the wrapper for cipher text.
EncryptedData | The `EncryptedData` element is the core element in the syntax.
EncryptedKey | The `EncryptedKey` element is used to transport encryption keys from the originator to a known recipient(s).
EncryptedType | EncryptedType is the abstract type from which `EncryptedData` and `EncryptedKey` are derived.
EncryptionMethod | `EncryptionMethod` describes the encryption algorithm applied to the cipher data.
EncryptionProperties | `EncryptionProperties` can hold additional information concerning the generation of the `EncryptedData` or `EncryptedKey`.
EncryptionProperty | Additional information items concerning the generation of the `EncryptedData` or `EncryptedKey` can be placed in an `EncryptionProperty` element (e.g., date/time stamp or the serial number of cryptographic hardware used during encryption).
Reference | A wrapper for a pointer from a key value of an `EncryptedKey` to items encrypted by that key value (`EncryptedData` or `EncryptedKey` elements).
ReferenceList | `ReferenceList` is an element that contains pointers from a key value of an `EncryptedKey` to items encrypted by that key value (`EncryptedData` or `EncryptedKey` elements).
Serializer | Converts `String`s into `Node`s and visa versa.
Transforms | A container for `ds:Transform`s.
XMLCipherParameters | Constants

Class Summary
AbstractSerializer | Converts `String`s into `Node`s and visa versa.
DocumentSerializer | Converts `String`s into `Node`s and visa versa.
TransformSerializer | Converts `String`s into `Node`s and visa versa.
XMLCipher | `XMLCipher` encrypts and decrypts the contents of `Document`s, `Element`s and `Element` contents.
XMLCipherInput | `XMLCipherInput` is used to wrap input passed into the XMLCipher encryption operations.

Exception Summary
XMLEncryptionException |

## Package org.apache.xml.security.encryption Description

Provides classes for implementing XML Encryption applications. There are two main families of classes in this package. The first group of classes is an XML Schema to Java mapping of the complex types and elements of the XML Encryption Schema as outllined at XML Encrtypyion Specification. The second group of classes are used to perform encryption operations, and to manipulate the first group of classes. The most important classes in this second group is `XMLCipher`, `XMLEncryptionFactory` and `XMLSerializer`. `XMLCipher` was designed to resemble `javax.crypto.Cipher`. The aforementioned classes were desinged with ease-of-use and configurability in mind. Becuase of this, the programmer may at times be exposed to lower level programming tasks. This library strives to be as simple as possible to use, but no simpler.
