Re: [dss] Requesr for comments: Proposal of message for XMLDSIG

[Anthony Nadalin <drsecure@us.ibm.com>]

Shouldn't it be "validating" and not "verifying" ?

Dear all,

Could you comment on the text that follows below?.
It is my initial proposal of the message that our
TC will address to the XMLDSIG group.

Regards and thanks

Juan Carlos.

Dear all,

Within the OASIS Digital Signature Services Technical Committee, that
is currently working in the specification of Web Services for producing and
veriffying
digital signatures, the issue of dealing with the requirement of What You
See is
What You Sign has been raised by some members. It deals with the signature
of the result of applying transformation(s) to the original XML data to
convert
it in a more human readable form (let us say HTML) as there seem to be
situations where this readability requirement is present. This issue is in
consequence
related NOT with c1n4 canonicalization but with additional transformations
that, as I mentioned before, transforms the original XML data in a
different document
perhaps in a different format... The aforementioned TC  would like to know
if the
XMLDSIG group has identified this as an issue and in such case if you have
came up to any conclusions about how it could be managed. If not, the TC
would
like to get your advice in order to address a suitable forum where to
address.

Best regards

Juan Carlos Cruellas
Co-chair of the OASIS DSS TC
