XML Encryption is a specification that defines how to encrypt the content of an XML element. It's recommended by the W3C.

Both XML Signature and XML Encryption use KeyInfo element. It appears as the child of a SignedInfo, EncryptedData, or EncryptedKey element and provides information to a recipient about what keying material to use in validating a signature or decrypting encrypted data
