Abstract
As the XML is approved standard language by the UN, the progress which complemented the XML security has being processed rapidly. In this paper, we design and implement the "XML-Signcryption" as a security mechanism to protect the XML document that can operate between other platforms. The signature and encryption which is the standard specification in W3C needs to be able to proceed them separately. Generally the signature and encryption require four times modular exponential operation, however the signcryption only needed three times modular exponential operation. This will benefit overall system effectiveness in terms of cost. And this scheme offers to convenient the user, because the signature and encryption implement as a single XML format. This tool can save the parsing time as a number of tags is few within a document. And also, in this paper, based on a research of Web Services security, we can apply XML-Signcryption to the SOAP message to provide the security services. Based on the XML-Signcryption scheme which provides confidentiality, integrity, authentication and non-repudiation to the XML document and Web Service security simultaneously.
