[xmlsec] is it possible to do signatures with AES?

I don't think this makes a lot of sense.  Are you saying to do something 
like AES-encrypt the SHA-1 message digest?  That would be bad -- it 
would mean that every signed document is a adding to known-plaintext 
attacks against the AES key, for example.

Perhaps you want to use HMAC?
