(RFC 2376) Security considerations : XFDL (Extensible Forms Description Language) is an XML-based language designed to represent complex business forms on the Web. XFDL includes support for multiple overlapping digital signatures, and auditable transaction records. We believe that XFDL can provide full non-repudiation of contractual forms. Protecting the privacy of an XFDL document during transmission is done using common http encrytion techniques. Some thought has been given to providing a built-in system on encryption to protect the privacy of XFDL document while they reside in a file system, but no such system exists at this time. Interoperability considerations : XFDL was designed to be a cross-platform language. Published specification : The full XFDL specification can be found at: http://www.w3.org/Submission/1998/16 or http://www.uwi.com/xfdl Applications which use this media : UWI.Com's InternetForms viewer, designer and gateway products. Additional information : 1. Magic number(s) : 2. File extension(s) : xfdl, xfd, frm 3. Macintosh file type code : Person to contact for further information : 1. Name : Dave 2.
