Abstract:

The Web services security architecture represents a combined
initiative by Microsoft and IBM to provide a framework for Web
services security. The WS-Security Roadmap defined several emerging
requirements for security in the Web services environment
complementing today's solutions to provide comprehensive security
countermeasures.

This talk will discuss in detail the WSS-SOAP Message Security
specification and how it defines the use of several existing and
emerging technologies at the SOAP message level. We will examine the
newest WS-Security specifications, including WS-Policy, WS-Trust,
WS-SecureConversation, and WS-Federation, and the state of
WS-Security roadmap.
