Using the Elliptic Curve Signature Algorithm for XML Digital Signatures
RFC 4050, “Using the Elliptic Curve Signature Algorithm for XML Digital Signatures”, is an Informational document published in April 2005 by S. Blake-Wilson, G. Karlinger, T. Kobayashi, Y. Wang. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies how to use Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) with XML Signatures. The mechanism specified provides integrity, message authentication, and/or signer authentication services for data of any type, whether located within the XML that includes the signature or included by reference. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
