> Workshop Goals and Scope
> ========================
>
> The goal of this Workshop is to make recommendations to W3C and the
> recently
> chartered XML Security Specifications Maintenance Working Group [1],
> and to
> build community consensus about possible next steps for the XML
> security
> specifications. XML Signature and XML Encryption have seen broad
> deployment,
> and form the basis for a number of security related specifications
> in the Web
> and Web services worlds. The Workshop will review the issues and
> lessons
> learned in implementation, deployment and development of
> specifications based
> on these standards and will investigate:
>
>     * Interoperability and robustness, such as spurious validation
> errors
>     * Performance aspects of implementations
>     * Use cases and requirements such as legal requirements for
> digital
>       signature formats
>     * Experience and consequences of building other specifications or
>       standards based on the XML Signature and XML Encryption suites
>     * Interaction with the evolving XML environment in general as
> well as
>       specifically XML 1.1 and Efficient XML Interchange (EXI)
>
> Participation
> =============
>
> The Workshop is free, and open to both W3C Members and to non-
> members. Public
> proceedings will be published after the event. Space is limited and
> participation may be limited by organization. Position papers are
