XML (eXtensible Markup Language) 암호화는 XML 문서 내용을 작성한 사용자에게만 구별 가능하고, 그 외의 사람들에게는 알아보기 힘들게 XML 문서를 변경하는 방법을 의미한다. W3C (World Wide Web Consortium)의 XML 암호화 표준화 그룹은 XML 문서와 그 일부분을 포함한 디지털 콘텐츠를 암호화 및 복호화는 프로세스를 개발하고, 의도된 사용자만이 복호화할 수 있는 정보와 암호화된 내용을 표시하기 위한 XML 구문을 만드는데 목적이 있다. 따라서 본 고에서는 XML 암호화에 대한 소개와 W3C\`s XML 암호화 표준화 동향을 살펴본다.

XML encryption is to provide confidentiality service, though not limited to, for web contents. XML encryption can be applied to entire data files as opaque objects, or more frequently to various parts of XML documents, supporting various encryption granularity. It is this characteristic that makes XML encryption a more efficient alternative for data confidentiality in various web applications than is possible with SSL/TLS, IPsec, PGP, or S/MIME. It is essential for successful deployment of XML encryption to achieve interoperability among the products implementing this technology, which requires the products to implement the XML encryption standards correctly. Conformance testing is to test if products implement the relevant standard correctly. In this paper we present a conformance testing method for XML encryption products and implement it. We will first look at XML encryption standards developed by W3C, and extract test criteria. Then we propose a testing method in which the encryption capability and the decryption capability of a product are tested separately. The proposed methody is actually implemented as a GUI-based testing tool and some test results are presented.

Dissemination of XML data on the internet could breach the privacy of data providers unless access to the disseminated XML data is carefully controlled. Recently, the methods using encryption have been proposed for such access control. However, in these methods, the performance of processing queries has not been addressed. A query processor cannot identify the contents of encrypted XML data unless the data are decrypted. This limitation incurs overhead of decrypting the parts of the XML data that would not contribute to the query result. In this paper, we propose the notion of query-aware decryption for efficient processing of queries against encrypted XML data. Query-aware decryption allows us to decrypt only those parts that would contribute to the query result. For this purpose, we disseminate an encrypted XML index along with the encrypted XML data. This index, when decrypted, informs us where the query results are located in the encrypted XML data, thus preventing unnecessary decryption for other parts of the data. Since the size of this index is much smaller than that of the encrypted XML data, the cost of decrypting this index is negligible compared with that for unnecessary decryption of the data itself. The experimental results show that our method improves the performance of query processing by up to 6 times compared with those of existing methods. Finally, we formally prove that dissemination of the encrypted XML index does not compromise security.

ebXML, Web Services와 같은 XML을 기반으로 한 프레임워크 기술들이 발전하고 IT 환경이 복잡해지면서 정보보안 기술의 발달과 그 필요성이 더욱 많이 요구되고 있다. UN공식 표준 언어인 XML 문서를 보호화기 위한 보안 메커니즘 가운데 정보의 기밀성을 보장하기 위해 XML 암호화에 대한 관심은 더욱 커지고 있는 상황이지만 XML 암호화 표준 명세에는 국내 표준 암호화 알고리즘인 SEED 암호화 알고리즘은 포함 되어있지 않다. 따라서 ebXML, Web Services등을 국내 표준으로 비준 할 때에 국내 표준암호화의 적용 방안이 필요하므로 본 논문은 국제 표준인 XML 암호화 명세에 국내 표준 암호화 알고리즘인 SEED암호화 알고리즘의 적용방안을 연구한다.

As a large quantity of information is presented in XML format on the web, there are increasing demands for XML security. Until now research on XML security has been focused on the security of data network using digital signature and encryption technology. As XML data become extensive and complex however XML security comes to involve not only network security but also managerial security. But XML encryption support simple network security. So it cannot support multiple users and multiple access control policy. In this paper, we propose an integration method of encryption and access control policy for securing XML documents. This methodology can support multiple authorization of multiple users with integrating access control. And this can reduce the cost of the existing complicated access evaluation process of access control by using pre-processing.

In this paper, a SOAP based ebXML cryptography system is proposed for the optimum XML document encryption using RSA algorithm in e-Marketplace. And ciphering algorithms of DES, 3DES, RSA, and proposed RSA were used for the performance analysis of ebXML cryptography system. The network performance of ciphering and deciphering times is evaluated for its enhancement of SOAP based ebXML ciphering e-Marketplace systems using the same block and document sizes by computer simulations.

As a large quantity of information is presented in XML format on the web, there are increasing demands for XML security. Research area or n security is about Encryption Digital signature, Key management and Access control. until now research on U security has been focused on the security of data network using digital signature and encryption technology. As XML data become extensive and complex XML security comes to involve not only network security but also managerial security. Managerial security is guaranteed through access control. But XML Encryption supports simple network security. So it can't support multiple users and multiple access control policies. In this paper, we propose an integration method of encryption and access control policy for securing XML documents. This methodology can supper multiple authorizations of multiple users with integrating access control. And this can reduce the cost of evaluation process of the existing complicated access authorization with pre-processing.

Web Services가 차세대 e-Business를 주도할 것으로 많은 주목을 받으면서 XML(extensible Markup Language)을 기반으로 하여 폭넓게 성장해 가고 있다. 하지만 안전한 서비스의 측면에서 Web Services 는 폐쇄환경에서는 존재하지 않았던 새로운 보안 고려사항들을 부각시키고 있다. 이에 대한 해결을 위해 본 논문에서는 XML을 기반으로 하는 Web Services의 특성에 맞추어, 플랫폼 독립적이며 언어 중립적인 특징을 유지한 XML-Signcryption을 제안하는데, 이것은 논리적으로 한번에 전자 서명과 암호화를 함께 수행하도록 하여 기존의 서명 후 암호화에서 요구되는 계산 비용보다 더 적은 비용을 가지고 있는 Zheng의 Signcryption 기법을 XML 보안에 응용한 것이다. 본 논문에서 처음으로 XML 구문 형식을 따라 XML-Signcryption이란 명칭으로 설계하여 제안하는 XML-Signcryption은 암호화와 전자서명을 따로 구현한 W3C(World Wide Web Consortium)의 XML-Encryption이나 XML-Signature 스펙과 비교해, 전자서명과 암호화의 두 가지 보안 메커니즘을 위한 각각의 구현을 따로 할 필요 없이 한번에 할 수 있다는 면에서 개발자들에게 편리성을 제공할 뿐만 아니라 계산 비용 측면에서도 효율적인 장점을 제공한다.

XML has weakness problems on document modulation and elimination of data Because of the XML gives priority to present data format, XML signature, XML encryption, or XML access control is provided to overcome those weakness problems. However, structured XML efficiency contravention problem occurred from XML encryption and absence of protection from DID attack are still remains unsolved. In this paper, we suggests the XML schema that satisfies both validity and encryption. The DTD is unnecessary because XML schema supports Well-Formed XML documents and include meta information. Also XML schema has possibility to generate each XML document dynamically and because of self efficiency investigator rule, it has an advantage on extendability of DID based encryption of XML documents.
