- <title>Keys.</title>
- <para>A key in XML Security Library is a representation of the
- <ulink URL="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/#sec-KeyInfo">&lt;dsig:KeyInfo/&gt;</ulink>
- element and consist of several key data objects.
- The "value" key data usually contains raw key material (or handlers to
- key material) required to execute particular crypto transform. Other
- key data objects may contain any additional information about the key.
- All the key data objects in the key are associated with the same key
- material. For example, if a DSA key material has both an X509
- certificate and a PGP data associated with it then such a key can
- have a DSA key "value" and two key data objects for X509 certificate
- and PGP key data.

- <para>XML Security Library has several "invisible" key data classes.
- These classes never show up in the keys data list of a key but are used for
- <ulink URL="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/#sec-KeyInfo">&lt;dsig:KeyInfo/&gt;</ulink>
- children processing (<ulink URL="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/#sec-KeyName">&lt;dsig:KeyName/&gt;</ulink>,
- &lt;enc:EncryptedKey/&gt;, ...). As with transforms, application might
- add any new key data objects or replace the default ones.
