SignedInfo

public interface SignedInfo implements XMLStructure

An representation of the XML SignedInfo element as defined in the W3C Recommendation for XML-Signature Syntax and Processing. The XML Schema Definition is defined as:


<element name="SignedInfo" type="ds:SignedInfoType"/>
<complexType name="SignedInfoType">
<sequence>
<element ref="ds:CanonicalizationMethod"/>
<element ref="ds:SignatureMethod"/>
<element ref="ds:Reference" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</sequence>
<attribute name="Id" type="ID" use="optional"/>
</complexType>

A SignedInfo instance may be created by invoking one of the {@link XMLSignatureFactory#newSignedInfo newSignedInfo} methods of the {@link XMLSignatureFactory} class.
