<h1>XML Security History</h1>
<a name="N1000D"></a><a name="The+%3CWebSig%3E+project"></a>
<h2 class="h3">The <WebSig> project</h2>
<div class="section">
<p>
In mid-1999, the <a class="external" href="http://www.nue.et-inf.uni-siegen.de/">Institute for Data
Communications Systems</a> at the <a class="external" href="http://www.uni-siegen.de/">University of Siegen</a> in
Germany looked for partners to participate in a European project for
implementing the upcoming <a class="external" href="http://www.w3c.org/Signature">XML Signature
standard</a>. We found our partners in the companies <a class="external" href="http://www.expnet.gr/">Expertnet S.A.</a> and <a class="external" href="http://www.proodos.gr/">PROODOS S.A.</a>, both from Athens,
who were willing to use our XML Signature library in a first commercial
project.
</p>
<p>
The project started in January 2000 and ended up in September 2001. 50%
of the costs have been funded by the European Commission in the <a class="external" href="http://www.ispo.cec.be/isis/99websig.htm">ISIS
programme</a>. Goal was to develop a JAVA library for creating and
validating XML Signatures and to make the binaries of this software
freely available.
</p>
<p>In September 2001, the Institute for Data Communications Systems decided to
make the sources freely available, too, to promote the use of digital
signatures and to give XML Signature a spin. The decision was made to
give the complete library (including an implementation of "Canonical
XML" and "XML Signature") under the hood of the Apache Software
Foundation to ensure availablility of the source and to enable other
people to use it under the Apache License.

<div class="section">
<p>The C++ library is a much more recent addition to the XML-Security
project. It started out on <a class="external" href="http://www.sourceforge.net">
Sourceforge</a> and was migrated into XML Security in early 2003.
