details.

digital signatures.

is not kept secure. Used for encryption or for verifying signatures.

example: “HTTP:80.” This describes a service consisting of a server's
HTTP application listening on port 80. Another example of a service:
“FTP:21.”

Step operators tell the SA7150 hierarchically where within an XML
data tree to look for matches. The two step operators are / (“child”
operator), and // (“descendant” operator).
Text

within elements (see) or attributes (see).
