* used with. The results are unpredictable if an
* <code>XMLSignContext</code> is used with different signature structures
* (for example, you should not use the same <code>XMLSignContext</code>

* <p>The following properties can be set using the

* <ul>
* <li><code>javax.xml.crypto.dsig.cacheReference</code>: value must be a
* {@link Boolean}. This property controls whether or not the digested
* {@link Reference} objects will cache the dereferenced content and
* pre-digested input for subsequent retrieval via the
* {@link Reference#getDereferencedData Reference.getDereferencedData} and
* {@link Reference#getDigestInputStream Reference.getDigestInputStream}
