Remarks
The DataReference class represents the <DataReference>
element that contains the location of encrypted data used with XML encryption.
<DataReference>
elements are used to refer to <EncryptedData>
elements that were encrypted using the key defined in the enclosing <EncryptedKey>
element. Multiple <DataReference>
elements can occur if multiple <EncryptedData>
elements exist that are encrypted using the same key.
For more information about XML encryption standards, see XML Encryption Syntax and Processing Version.
