  &lt;pre wrap=&quot;&quot;&gt;1. Can XMLSec bind a crypto engine dynamic?&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
I would say &quot;yes&quot; on *nixes and &quot;probably&quot; on Windows. Unfortunatelly,&lt;br&gt;
there are some linking problems with Windows and right now the &lt;br&gt;
xmlsec for windows is compiled as one big library (on *nixes there&lt;br&gt;
are two libraries: xmlsec and xmlsec-&amp;lt;crypto&amp;gt; where
&amp;lt;crypto&amp;gt; is &quot;openssl&quot;,&lt;br&gt;
&quot;nss&quot;, &quot;gnutls&quot;,....).&lt;br&gt;
However, I don't think that it's impossible to solve these problems. It
should&lt;br&gt;
be a matter of tweaking Windows makefiles and may be some export defines&lt;br&gt;
redefinition (I like this phrase :) )&lt;br&gt;
And I accept patches :)&lt;br&gt;

  &lt;pre wrap=&quot;&quot;&gt;2. Is there a cryto-engine-implement guide?

  &lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Unfortunatelly, &quot;no&quot;. This is in my definite &quot;todo&quot; list for the
release. &lt;br&gt;
However, you might find this interesting (do not forget to click on the &lt;br&gt;
&quot;Figure N&quot; links):&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;a class=&quot;moz-txt-link-freetext&quot; href=&quot;http://www.aleksey.com/xmlsec/architecture/design-overview.html&quot;&gt;http://www.aleksey.com/xmlsec/architecture/design-overview.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Currently, there are 3 engines supported: OpenSSL, GnuTLS and NSS.&lt;br&gt;
The support for the last two is limited and could be used as a starting
point&lt;br&gt;
(skeleton) for new development.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
