System.Security.Cryptography.Xml Namespace

Contains classes to support the creation and validation of XML digital signatures. The classes in this namespace implement the World Wide Web Consortium Recommendation, XML-Signature Syntax and Processing.

Classes

CipherData	Represents the <CipherData> element in XML encryption. This class cannot be inherited.
CipherReference	Represents the <CipherReference> element in XML encryption. This class cannot be inherited.
CryptoSignedXmlRecursionException	The exception that's thrown when the signed XML recursion limit is reached. Catch this exception when computing the hash, in addition to the other exceptions that ComputeHash can throw.
DataObject	Represents the object element of an XML signature that holds data to be signed.
DataReference	Represents the <DataReference> element used in XML encryption. This class cannot be inherited.
DSAKeyValue	Represents the DSA private key of the <KeyInfo> element.
EncryptedData	Represents the <EncryptedData> element in XML encryption. This class cannot be inherited.
EncryptedKey	Represents the <EncryptedKey> element in XML encryption. This class cannot be inherited.
EncryptedReference	Represents the abstract base class used in XML encryption from which the CipherReference, KeyReference, and DataReference classes derive.
EncryptedType	Represents the abstract base class from which the classes EncryptedData and EncryptedKey derive.
EncryptedXml	Represents the process model for implementing XML encryption.
EncryptionMethod	Encapsulates the encryption algorithm used for XML encryption.
EncryptionProperty	Represents the <EncryptionProperty> element used in XML encryption. This class cannot be inherited.
EncryptionPropertyCollection	Represents a collection of EncryptionProperty classes used in XML encryption. This class cannot be inherited.
KeyInfo	Represents an XML digital signature or XML encryption <KeyInfo> element.
KeyInfoClause	Represents the abstract base class from which all implementations of KeyInfo subelements inherit.
KeyInfoEncryptedKey	Wraps the EncryptedKey class, it to be placed as a subelement of the KeyInfo class.
KeyInfoName	Represents a <KeyName> subelement of an XMLDSIG or XML Encryption <KeyInfo> element.
KeyInfoNode	Handles KeyInfo subelements that do not have specific implementations or handlers registered on the machine.
KeyInfoRetrievalMethod	References KeyInfo objects stored at a different location when using XMLDSIG or XML encryption.
KeyInfoX509Data	Represents an <X509Data> subelement of an XMLDSIG or XML Encryption <KeyInfo> element.
KeyReference	Represents the <KeyReference> element used in XML encryption. This class cannot be inherited.
Reference	Represents the <reference> element of an XML signature.
ReferenceList	Represents the <ReferenceList> element used in XML encryption. This class cannot be inherited.
RSAKeyValue	Represents the <RSAKeyValue> element of an XML signature.
Signature	Represents the <Signature> element of an XML signature.
SignedInfo	Contains information about the canonicalization algorithm and signature algorithm used for the XML signature.
SignedXml	Provides a wrapper on a core XML signature object to facilitate creating XML signatures.
Transform	Represents the abstract base class from which all <Transform> elements that can be used in an XML digital signature derive.
TransformChain	Defines an ordered list of Transform objects that is applied to unsigned content prior to digest calculation.
XmlDecryptionTransform	Specifies the order of XML Digital Signature and XML Encryption operations when both are performed on the same document.
XmlDsigBase64Transform	Represents the Base64 decoding transform as defined in Section 6.6.2 of the XMLDSIG specification.

XmlDsigEnvelopedSignatureTransform	Represents the enveloped signature transform for an XML digital signature as defined by the W3C.
XmlDsigExcC14NTransform	Represents the exclusive C14N XML canonicalization transform for a digital signature as defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), without comments.
XmlDsigExcC14NWithCommentsTransform	Represents the exclusive C14N XML canonicalization transform for a digital signature as defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), with comments.
XmlDsigXPathTransform	Represents the XPath transform for a digital signature as defined by the W3C.
XmlDsigXsltTransform	Represents the XSLT transform for a digital signature as defined by the W3C.
