October '21 - XML signing & OAuth updates

This month’s content is all about XML signatures (sorry). But I also updated some popular OAuth content.

XML Signing in .NET

XML signing is still something you’ll need to do now and then, especially if you deal with SAML, as I do. However, safely parsing, signing, and validating XML is not an easy task. In these articles, you’ll learn about XML best practices in .NET and how to use both RSA and ECDSA XML signatures.
