I don't think you can sign XML.

If this is about encrypting the data for authenticity, in my opinion (although I would pick C# any time of the day, week, or year, for that matter!) I recommend finding a library in either of these languages/frameworks. A library would make your life easier.

If you do find one, then the language does not matter. It matters if you are going to code it yourself. If you need to code it yourself, go with C#.

.NET is a stable platform, while Java folks are still confused about Java SE, EE, Spring, Jakarta, etc. The irony is if something works with one thing, it does not guarantee to work in the other.

Note: The same is true for C#, but not as bad as with Java.
