Description

This task involves improving the XML encryption processing, particular wrt DOM processing, when processing an EncryptedData or EncryptedKey element. The code here is woefully inefficient. This includes:

• Removing the unnecessary class variable "sharedKey" in EncryptedDataProcessor
• Audit the code to make sure it only searches for direct child elements when necessary rather than a global search of the SOAP envelope
• A general tidy-up of the code.
