	Securing XML (signature and encryption)

	The XML encryption standard describes how to encrypt XML, but 
        when working in the dynamic web environment where encrypted 
        XML is sent to a user and the user is expected to return 
        encrypted XML, there is a kind of encryption ballet that has 
  	to go on; 

	(a) the application extracts data from somewhere and prepares 
	    it for the user: the XML is signed and encrypted under a key 
	    available to the user 

	(b) the browser loads the XML: the XML is decrypted and signature 
	     verified 

	(c) the browser submits XML back to the application, the XML is 
	    signed and encrypted under a key(s) available to the application 

	(d) the application loads the XML, which it may or may not 
	    decrypt (it might be stored encrypted), and signature is verified

	Where Are We Now

	This presentation will focus on where XML and XML applications 
	are five years after completion of W3C XML Specification 1.0.
