The IAIK XML Advanced Electronic Signatures (XAdES) API extends the Java^TM XML Digital Signature API Specification (JSR 105) with features for the processing of XML Advanced Electronic Signatures (XAdES) according to ETSI TS 101 903 V1.4.2 (2010-12).

Package Overview

The IAIK XML Advanced Electronic Signatures (XAdES) API consists of 4 packages:

iaik.xml.crypto
iaik.xml.crypto.dom
iaik.xml.crypto.xades
iaik.xml.crypto.xades.timestamp

The iaik.xml.crypto and the iaik.xml.crypto.dom packages contain classes that extend the corresponding javax.xml.crypto and javax.xml.crypto.dom packages of the Java^TM XML Digital Signature API Specification (JSR 105) with classes for the extension of XML advanced electronic signatures after they have been signed.

The iaik.xml.crypto.xades package contains interfaces that represent the elements of the qualifying properties defined in ETSI TS 101 903 v1.2.2. Of primary significance is the XAdESSignature class which extends the XMLSignature class, which allows you to sign, validate an extend an XML Advanced Electronic Signature. The QualifyingPropertiesFactory is an abstract factory that is used to create objects that implement the interfaces defined in this package.

Finally, the iaik.xml.crypto.xades.timestamp package contains classes for the processing of time-stamps as they occur in XML Advanced Electronic Signatures. One notable class in this package is the TimeStampProcessor which allows developers to supply implementations that access a certain time-stamp authority TSA to obtain a time-stamp.
