XML is spreading quickly as a format for electronic documents and messages. As a consequence, greaterimportance is being placed on the XML security technology. Against this background research and development efforts intoXML security are being energetically pursued. This paper discusses the W3C XML Signature and XML Encryptionspecifications, which represent the fundamental technology of XML security, as well as other related technologies originallydeveloped by NEC. Web Service Transactions are done mainly through plain-text XML formats like SOAP and WSDL, hencehacking them is not a tedious task. XML Signature and XML Encryption ensure security to XML documents as well as retainthe structure of the documents, thereby making it easy to implement them. These two methods are evaluated on theparameters of authentication, authorization, integration, confidentiality and non-repudiation.
