Baltimore introduces new security toolkit

Baltimore Technologies has announced the availability of KeyTools XML 5.1 for handling digital signatures within XML documents and messages.

The W3C XML digital Signature specification is one of the cornerstones of security in the emerging Web services environment to provide assurance over the source and integrity of data.

"Without the appropriate security measures provided by KeyTools XML in place, the adoption of web servers will be severely curtailed" said Patrick McLaughlin, SVP Technical Strategy for Baltimore.

Major new features of Baltimore's KeyTools XML include the ability to create secure and trusted XML messages in full compliance with the XML Digital Signature specification, and full support for Java Cryptography Architecture/Java Cryptography Extension) compliant third-party cryptography providers.
