python XML security (xml-dsig)

python XML Security

This is a python implementation of XML-Security - XML-DSIG only right now. There are no dependencies except lxml currently.

This code was inspired by https://github.com/andrewdyates/xmldsig (this implementation is a refactor and extension of that implementation) and includes a pure-python RSA implementation https://github.com/andrewdyates/rsa_x509_pem by and with permission from Andrew Yates.

In order to sign with a PKCS#11-module you need to install pykcs11 (http://www.bit4id.org/pykcs11/)

This package is available under the NORDUnet BSD license (cf LICENSE.txt)

Limitations:

• only support for enveloped signatures
• only support for RSA-SHA1 signatures
• no encryption support

Some of those limitations might be addressed. Patches and pull-requests are most welcome!
