Secure XML: The New Syntax for Signatures and Encryption by Donald E. Eastlake, Kitty Niles Average Customer Review: based on 9 reviews. Customer Review: Suppose you have XML data that you want to regularly send to Bob, across the Internet. But it is of a confidential nature, so you don't want to send it as plaintext.
