Abstract	Over the years, XML technology has been a standard for data representation and data exchange in many areas of information technology particularly those with focus on XML-based description standards for data interchange. Most data exchange involves transfer of confidential information, so there is a logical need for a secured means of storing, transmitting and receiving confidential and sensitive information. The security threats imposed on electronic result transfer is overwhelming and hence, the need to have a secure system in place. To obtain a maximum security level from XML Security standards, there is a need to incorporate a hybrid system that combines the features of the needed security measures. This paper presents a hybrid XML schema (XML encryption and XML signature) to ensure confidentiality and non-reputability in exchanging electronic result. The application involves encrypting the XML file using the XML encryption and then digitally sign this document using the XML signature for confidentiality and non-reputability, integrity and authenticity. The XML Security schema presented here is then proposed for adoption in the University of Agriculture Abeokuta, Ogun State Nigeria.
