For example, X509 certificates + processing require a common list of trusted certificates to be + available. XML Security Library keeps all the common information + for key data processing in a a collection of key data stores called + "keys manager". + </p> +<div class="FIGURE"> +<a name="AEN353"></a><p><b>Figure 1. The keys manager structure.</b></p> +<p><img src="images/keysmngr.png" align="CENTER"></p> +</div> +<p>Keys manager has a special "keys store" which lists the keys + known to the application. This "keys store" is used by XML Security + Library to lookup keys by name, type and crypto algorithm (for example, + during + <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/#sec-KeyName" target="_top"><dsig:KeyName/></a> + processing). The XML Security Library + provides default simple "flat list" based implementation of a default keys + store. The application can replace it with any other keys store + (for example, based on an SQL database). + </p> +<p>Keys manager is the only object in XML Security Library which + is supposed to be shared by many different operations. Usually keys + manager is initialized once at the application startup and later is + used by XML Security library routines in "read-only" mode. If + application or crypto function need to modify any of the key data + stores inside keys manager then proper synchronization must be + implemented. In the same time, application can create a new keys + manager each time it needs to perform XML signature, verification, + encryption or decryption. + </p> +</div> +</div> +<table class="navigation" width="100%" summary="Navigation footer" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2"><tr valign="middle"> +<td align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="xmlsec-notes-keys.html"><b><<< Keys.</b></a></td> +<td align="right"><a accesskey="n" href="xmlsec-notes-simple-keys-store.html"><b>Simple keys store. >>></b></a></td> +</tr></table> +</td></tr></table></td> +</tr></table></body> +</html> |
