Re: [Jsxe-devel] Adding security module within JSXE

[Majirus F. <jm...@ho...>]

Hi Ian,
First, I'd like to thank you for your message.
I am working on a research project that aims to provide a secure environmen=
t for cooperative edition of document.
We have recently published a research paper for securely updating XML (Secu=
rely Updating XML. In Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Springer B/H, Vol.=
 4694, Pages 1098-1106, September 2007;). To better understand the motivati=
ons for protecting XML, you may think about a hospital database and consid=
=E8re an XML document with patients informations. We can control the access=
 to the document by sending on the fly to any patient only part of the docu=
ment he/she is allowed to see.
Now I'd like to provide a security module to jsxe in order for it to filter=
 first the document and present to the user only the autorized nodes and su=
btrees. That way, many partner organisations can cooperatively and securely=
 tender for a job, but anyone in those organisations having to read and com=
plete only part of the document according to the security policy. Adobe Lif=
ecycle Policy server offer somthing like that for pdf and word file, but fo=
r centralized environment.
Well, I expect I have been clear about the motivations for my project.
I'd like to access the source of jsxe in order to add that module.
I am going to browse the repository you have indicated. Of course, any docu=
mentation or indication to develop on the current source files will be welc=
omed.
With kindest regards,

 I had some documents in svn. I'm pretty sure they are far from complete an=

gn/Is there a particular reason you are working on "security techniques for=
 XML"? That sounds like a university project. If it's a learning exercise t=
hen I would say go ahead and play around with it, but security techniques f=
or XML sounds like a vacuous topic. XML is a text format used for various t=
hings but works best as a data transport format. Security is usually a non-=
issue at this level. XML, even as a file, is secured by means not specific =
to XML such as normal RSA encryption, PGP etc. Very rarely would you need t=
o encrypt data within an XML document or apply any kind of security techniq=
ues specific to XML. What kind of thing did you have in mind?Ian

Dear JSXE devel list members,I am working on security techniques for XML do=
cuments. I would like to build a prototype by integrating a security module=
 to JSXE. I wonder if you could probably indicate me how to download the so=
urce of the soft. I will also greatly appreciate if one can provide me with=
 the developer's guide. With kindest regards, Majirus
