About the XML Encryption Specification
This XML Encryption Recommendation has been produced by the W3C XML Encryption Working
Group. This document lists the known errata to the Recommendation. Each
entry has the following information:
- A unique entry number.
- The date it was added to the errata page.
- Whether the entry is considered:
- an Error that affects the conformance and/or
interoperability of syntax and processing,
- an Editorial error, such as a typographical
mistake,
- a structural defect in the Document, such as an
incorrect fragment identifier,
- a Clarification with respect to a misstatement or
misinterpretation of the specification,
- a Caveat where subsequent experience has shown
that a recommendation of the specification was incorrect or needs
further qualification.
- The version and section referred to.
- A description of the problem and correction if applicable.
Please report errors in this document to the specification editors and cc:

XML Encryption Syntax and Processing
- E01 2003-01-21 (Editorial)
- Section 5.4.1
RSA Version 1.5 includes an example in which a
CipherData element's content is character data.
CipherData's element must be a CipherValue or
CipherReference element. Consequently, the example should
read:
<CipherData>
<CipherValue>IWijxQjUrcXBYoCei4QxjWo9Kg8D3p9tlWoT4
t0/gyTE96639In0FZFY2/rvP+/bMJ01EArmKZsR5VW3rwoPxw=
</Ciphervalue>
</CipherData>
- E02 2003-07-31 (Editorial)
- In section 10
References, the XML-DSIG
reference includes a hyperlink of "XML-Signature Syntax and
Processing" that incorrectly links to the Proposed Recommendation; it
should link to the Recommendation as the other links for that reference
do.
- E03 2003-11-18 (Error)
- The
XML Encryption schema is missing the definition of
DHKeyValue that is in the natural language specification.
The schema should be corrected by adding the DHKeyValue
element and DHKeyValueType structure from the specification
as children of the schema element.
- E04 2011-06-20 (Editorial)
- In the example in section 2.2.1, EncryptedData with Symmetric
Key (KeyName), the EncryptedData element should not be closed at line [s1]. '/>' should be
replaced with '>' in the example at that line.
