- Interface Summary
  Interface | Description
  --- | ---
  AlgorithmMethod | An abstract representation of an algorithm defined in the XML Security specifications.
  Data | An abstract representation of the result of dereferencing a `URIReference` or the input/output of subsequent `Transform`s.
  KeySelectorResult | The result returned by the `KeySelector.select` method.
  NodeSetData<T> | An abstract representation of a `Data` type containing a node-set.
  URIDereferencer | A dereferencer of `URIReference`s.
  URIReference | Identifies a data object via a URI-Reference, as specified by RFC 2396.
  XMLCryptoContext | Contains common context information for XML cryptographic operations.
  XMLStructure | A representation of an XML structure from any namespace.

- Class Summary
