IETF Working Group. 

The IESG contact person is Russ Housley.

Technical Summary

  This document specifies the conventions for using the ECDSA (Elliptic
  Curve Digital Signature Algorithm) with XML Signatures. The mechanism
  specified provides integrity, message authentication, and/or signer
  authentication services for data of any type, whether located within
  the XML that includes the signature or included by reference.

Protocol Quality

  This document was reviewed by Russ Housley for the IESG.

RFC Editor Note

  Avoid splitting URIs in first declaration of Appendix A on page 13
  across lines to avoid causing problems for XML parsers. Also update URIs
  in Appendix A to follow [Eastlake].
