Hi Nicolas, I am not sure which kind of "protection" you are looking
for, if you just worry about access from unauthorized users to an XML
document on a web server, you could simply use HTTP facilities to deny
access or request for authorization. If you worry about the integrity
of the document you might be interested in digital signatures, see e.g.
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/>; if you worry about unauthorized
access more generally, http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlenc-core/ provides XML
encryption.
