Apache XML Security for Java supports XML-Signature Syntax and Processing, W3C Recommendation 12 February 2002, and XML Encryption Syntax and Processing, W3C Recommendation 10 December 2002. As of version 1.4, the library supports the standard Java API JSR-105: XML Digital Signature APIs.

There is a newer version: 4.0.3

/**
 * A Key Agreement algorithm provides for the derivation of a shared secret key
 * based on a shared secret computed from certain types of compatible public
 * keys from both the sender and the recipient. Information from the originator
 * to determine the secret is indicated by an optional OriginatorKeyInfo
 * parameter child of an AgreementMethod element while that
 * associated with the recipient is indicated by an optional RecipientKeyInfo. A
 * shared key is derived from this shared secret by a method determined by the
 * Key Agreement algorithm.
 * 
 * Note: XML Encryption does not provide an on-line key agreement
 * negotiation protocol. The AgreementMethod element can be used by
 * the originator to identify the keys and computational procedure that were
 * used to obtain a shared encryption key. The method used to obtain or select
 * the keys or algorithm used for the agreement computation is beyond the scope
 * of this specification.
 * 

 * The AgreementMethod element appears as the content of a
 * ds:KeyInfo since, like other ds:KeyInfo children,
 * it yields a key. This ds:KeyInfo is in turn a child of an
 * EncryptedData or EncryptedKey element. The
 * Algorithm attribute and KeySize child of the EncryptionMethod
 * element under this EncryptedData or EncryptedKey
 * element are implicit parameters to the key agreement computation. In cases
 * where this EncryptionMethod algorithm URI is
 * insufficient to determine the key length, a KeySize MUST have been included.
 * In addition, the sender may place a KA-Nonce element under
 * AgreementMethod to assure that different keying material is
 * generated even for repeated agreements using the same sender and recipient
 * public keys.
 * 

 * If the agreed key is being used to wrap a key, then
 * AgreementMethod would appear inside a ds:KeyInfo
 * inside an EncryptedKey element.
 * 

 * The Schema for AgreementMethod is as follows:
 * 
 * 
 * 
 *     
 *         
 *         
 *         
 *
