XML Encryption Profile (formerly known as the PHIN profile)

The XML Encryption Profile enables XML encryption and SSL client authentication. Initially, it was proposed by and is used by the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention in the CDC's Public Health Information Network. The XML Encryption Profile is appropriate for cross-industry use where message level encryption and client authentication are desired.

The XML Encryption optional profile has been implemented in ebMS interoperability test rounds conducted by DGI since 2003. For a list of products certified in the XML Encryption profile during the recent ebMS interoperability test round, please see: http://www.drummondgroup.com/html-v2/ebXML-companies.html

For more information about the XML Encryption Profile go to: (http://www.cdc.gov/phin/resources/requirements.html)

Please note that this profile was built by the United States Center for Disease Control (CDC) to increase security for their ebMS messaging layer. CDC's Public Health Infrastructure Network (PHIN) software was certified by Drummond Group in 2003. Drummond Group Inc. also makes available this profile document for your convenience here
