15.4. Processing Flow
This section describes the sequence of operations for XML encryption and decryption processing. The XML Encryption Recommendation [XMLENC] attempts to define the boundary between the application and an encrypter or decrypter, but it remains flexible because some steps may be carried out by either one. Discussion of cryptographic and directly related processing, where XMLDSIG is used as an analogy, appears in the subsections “Encryption Processing” and “Decryption Processing.” Discussion of other “application” processing appears in the subsections “Pre-encryption Processing,” “Post-encryption Processing,” “Pre-decryption Processing,” and “Post-decryption Processing.”
