URL
Specifies the URL for the transform algorithms used to protect the message part.
The URLs of the supported transform algorithms are listed in the table. The recommended transform is http://www.w3.org/2001/10/xml-exc-c14n# and it is the Exclusive XML Canonicalization, as well as the default value provided in the URL field when a transform is added.
