Abstract

Most of the time information handled by organizations has been collected and processed by computers and transmitted across networks to other computers. How can we protect this information from unauthorized access when it is being transmitted? Encryption provides confidentiality by protecting sensitive information from being read by intruders. In this paper, we present two patterns: a Symmetric Encryption pattern that describes a basic type of algorithms and XML Encryption that describes how to apply symmetric and asymmetric encryption to XML messages.
