XML Signature and Encryption

[Former Member]

I need to know the difference between - Normal Signatures and XML Signatures.

We have a PTP tool which accepts files and encypts it and XI sends it to client.

One of our client requested for XML Signatures.

The PTP tool accepts any file and encrypts it. Can this be called XML Signatures?

What is the XML Signature and Encryption and How does it differ from normal encryptions?

Hi Pranu,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_Signature

and for XML encryption you can refer this-

Thanks for the reply.

The link give a fair idea about what the XML signatures are.

Any idea how to generate the hash and apply it to an XML in ABAP?

My basic requirement is to get the XML file digitally signed but I am not getting the right direction.

We would like to achieve this using ABAP.

Any help would be appretiated.
