A Domain-Specific Language for XML Security Standards
Sigrid Schefer-Wenzl, Katharina Feiertag · 2014
A domain-specific language (DSL) is designed for a certain problem domain. Its notation is tailored to the relevant concepts and features of that domain. In this paper, we present a basis for a DSL for XML security standards. In particular, we focus on three prominent examples, i.e. XML Signature, XML Encryption, and SAML that are integrated into a common DSL. The main goals of our DSL are to make it easily comprehensible for security domain experts, easily applicable for people being familiar with at least one GPL, and easily extensible for further XML standards.
