- Description:
- SignXML is an implementation of the W3C XML Signature standard in Python. This
standard (also known as "XMLDSig") is used to provide payload security in SAML
2.0, XAdES, EBICS, and WS-Security, among other uses. The standard is defined in
the W3C Recommendation XML Signature Syntax and Processing Version 1.1. SignXML
implements all of the required components of the Version 1.1 standard, and most
recommended ones. Its features are:
- Use of a libxml2-based XML parser configured to defend against common XML
attacks when verifying signatures
- Extensions to allow signing with and verifying X.509 certificate chains,
including hostname/CN validation
- Extensions to sign and verify XAdES signatures
- Support for exclusive XML canonicalization with inclusive prefixes
(InclusiveNamespaces PrefixList, required to verify signatures generated by
some SAML implementations)
- Modern Python compatibility (3.9-3.13+ and PyPy)
- Well-supported, portable, reliable dependencies: lxml and cryptography
- Comprehensive testing (including the XMLDSig interoperability suite) and
continuous integration
- Simple interface with useful, ergonomic, and secure defaults (no network
calls, XSLT or XPath transforms)
- Compactness, readability, and extensibility

*/*: switch dependency from devel/py-lxml5 to devel/py-lxml
Currently, there are two versions of python XML processing library
which conflict each other in the ports tree, namely:
- devel/py-lxml5 (now at version 5.4.0)
- devel/py-lxml (now at version 6.0.1)
To avoid the situation that some ports depend on py-lxml5 and some
others do on py-lxml (by switching dependencies individually), this
commit switches the dependencies from py-lxml5 to py-lxml at once.
Additional note: There are still two ports (textproc/py-rdflib and
www/py-draftjs-exporter) depending on py-lxml5 since they limit upper
version to less than 6.
