	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
