XPS digital signatures provide a way to sign a document, verify the identity of the signer, and indicate whether an XPS document has changed since it was signed. The XPS digital signatures build on the digital signatures that are used in the Open Packaging Conventions, which are specified in the 1st edition, Part 2, "Open Packaging Conventions," of Standard ECMA-376, Office Open XML File Formats.
