XML signatures and RELAX NG schemas in ISO/IEC 29500-2 (OPC of OOXML)

[Chris Rae]

The Office 2010 XaDeS support is detailed in one of the file format documents we have online, MS-OFFCRYPTO - it's available as a PDF at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc313071(office.12).aspx. The schemas are inline. The various other Office 2010 extensions are siblings of that document - an index is at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc313105(v=office.12).aspx.

I'll have to report back on the Exclusive C14N question.

Chris,

You are right in saying that XML Signature 1.1 and XML Siganture Properties are still in draft status.

Exclusive C14N is a recommendation.  Why it is not referenced?

I would like to know more about the XAdES support by MS.  Are there any schemas for it?

Cheers,
Makoto
