METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING EXTENSIBLE MARKUP LANGUAGE SECURITY MESSAGES USING DELTA PARSING TECHNOLOGY

摘要

Markup language security messages are processed. A template corresponding to a markup language security message is identified. The markup language security message is parsed for variable values using the template. A transition sequence is generated that represents the entire markup language security message. Each transition in the transition sequence is associated with a portion of the markup language security message. A lightweight data model of the markup language security message is populated using the transition sequence. The lightweight data model includes nodes for the variable values and a set of selected constant values.
