This feature allows developers to encrypt, decrypt, and re-encrypt database files. See Encrypted local storage (for ActionScript developers) or Encrypted local storage (for HTML developers).

New XML signature validation APIs that can be used to help verify the integrity and signer identity of data or information. For more information, see XML signature validation in AIR (for ActionScript developers) or see XML signature validation in AIR (for HTML developers).
