Wait, I thought XML was just for data representation?
JE

I believe the statement is true because it helps ensure message integrity, but I need to double-check my notes on this.

I think XML canonicalization is important for digital signatures, but I'm not completely sure if it's always necessary.

Hmm, I'm not 100% sure about this. I'll need to review my notes on XML security to make sure I fully understand the purpose and importance of canonicalization.

Okay, I think I get it now. The key is that canonicalization standardizes the XML syntax so the digital signature can be properly verified, even if the original XML had some minor formatting differences.

I'm a bit confused about the purpose of XML canonicalization. Is it just to ensure the same message digest is generated, or is there more to it?

This seems pretty straightforward. XML canonicalization is used to standardize the syntax of XML documents before digital signing, so the signature can be verified correctly.

No access required? That sounds too easy. I'll narrow it down to A or B and think about the access levels.
