Abstract
A number of Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) intended for use with
XML Digital Signatures, Encryption, and Canonicalization are defined.
These URIs identify algorithms and types of keying information.

1. Introduction
XML Digital Signatures, Canonicalization, and Encryption have been
standardized by the W3C and the joint IETF/W3C XMLDSIG working group.
All of these are now W3C Recommendations and IETF Informational or
Standards Track documents. They are available as follows:
IETF level W3C REC Topic
----------- ------- -----
[RFC3275] Draft Std [XMLDSIG] XML Digital Signatures
[RFC3076] Info [CANON] Canonical XML
- - - - - - [XMLENC] XML Encryption
[RFC3741] Info [EXCANON] Exclusive XML Canonicalization
All of these standards and recommendations use URIs [RFC2396] to
identify algorithms and keying information types. This document
provides a convenient reference list of URIs and descriptions for
algorithms in which there is substantial interest, but which cannot
or have not been included in the main documents. Note that raising
XML digital signature to a Draft Standard in the IETF required
removal of any algorithms for which interoperability from the main
