DigestMethod

public interface DigestMethod implements AlgorithmMethod, XMLStructure
A representation of the XML DigestMethod element as defined in the W3C Recommendation for XML-Signature Syntax and Processing. The XML Schema Definition is defined as:

<element name="DigestMethod" type="ds:DigestMethodType"/>
<complexType name="DigestMethodType" mixed="true">
<sequence>
<any namespace="##any" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
<!-- (0,unbounded) elements from (1,1) namespace -->
</sequence>
<attribute name="Algorithm" type="anyURI" use="required"/>
</complexType>
A DigestMethod instance may be created by invoking the {@link XMLSignatureFactory#newDigestMethod newDigestMethod} method of the {@link XMLSignatureFactory} class.
