Overview

What is XML Encryption Methods for Encryption Storage of Encrypted Data Benefits of XML Secure Storage Types of XML Encryption

XML Encryption Specification that defines how to encrypt data

Used to encrypt data, keying information and algorithms

Methods for encryption

•Using Symmetric Encryption

•Combination of Symmetric and Asymmetric Encryption

•X.509 Certificates

Storage of Encrypted Data

Whole element is replaced with an element named <EncryptedData>

Only the data in the element is replaced and its name remains readable in the document

Benefits of XML Secure Storage

XML Is Structured Format

Allows for secure storage of documents

Provides granularity

Leverages Existing technologies

XML Encryption

Encrypted data is maintained.

All information needed to decrypt a document is contained within the document.

Session can be secured on the document level and shared between multiple parties.

Sensitive data is easily interchanged between applications.

XML Encryption of Element

<?xml version='1.0'?> <PaymentInfo xmlns='http://example.org/paymentv2'> <Name>John Smith</Name> <EncryptedData Type='http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#Element' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#'> <CipherData> <CipherValue>A23B45C56</CipherValue> </CipherData> </EncryptedData> </PaymentInfo>

XML Encryption using Content<?xml version='1.0'?> <PaymentInfo xmlns='http://example.org/paymentv2'> <Name>John Smith</Name> <CreditCard Limit='5,000' Currency='USD'> <EncryptedData xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#' Type='http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#Content'> <CipherData> <CipherValue>A23B45C56</CipherValue> </CipherData> </EncryptedData> </CreditCard> </PaymentInfo>

Encrypting XML Content (Character Data)

<?xml version='1.0'?> <PaymentInfo xmlns='http://example.org/paymentv2'> <Name>John Smith</Name> <CreditCard Limit='5,000' Currency='USD'> <Number> <EncryptedData xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#' Type='http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#Content'> <CipherData> <CipherValue>A23B45C56</CipherValue> </CipherData> </EncryptedData> </Number> <Issuer>Example Bank</Issuer> <Expiration>04/02</Expiration> </CreditCard> </PaymentInfo>

XML Encryption in WS-Security

<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-envelope" xmlns:xenc="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#"> <env:Header> <wsse:Security

xmlns:wsse="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2002/04/secext">

<xenc:ReferenceList> <xenc:DataReference URI="#encryptedID"/> </xenc:ReferenceList> </wsse:Security> </env:Header> <env:Body> <xenc:EncryptedData Id="encryptedID"> <xenc:CipherData> <xenc:CipherValue>...</xenc:CipherValue> </xenc:CipherData> </xenc:EncryptedData> </env:Body></env:Envelope>

XML Encryption w/ Digital Certificate<EncryptedData xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#"

.</CipherValue></CipherData></EncryptedData>

XML Signing AND XML Encryption•Order of Cryptographic operations matters

•Signing and Encrypting

•Encrypting and Signing

•Change of the order while Decrypting - Danger
