Interface IKeyInfoProcessor

All Known Implementing Classes:

WSSKeyInfoProcessor

public interface IKeyInfoProcessor

IKeyInfoProcessor is responsible for the relationship between <KeyInfo> elements and SecurityTokens. This interface is needed because the key info may be stored in a format not defined by the xml-dsig spec. For example, in a WS-Security SecurityTokenReference.
