  • Implements XML Encryption (W3C) standards
  • Backend support for OpenSSL, NSS, and LibXML2
  • Language bindings for Python and other languages
Use Cases:
  • Implementing XML signature verification in server applications
  • Encrypting sensitive data within XML configuration files
  • Developing secure SOAP or SAML-based web services
Alternatives:
  • OpenSSL – Provides general cryptographic primitives but lacks native XML structure handling.
