Web Services And Security

Posted by timothy on from the irish-sneaks-one-through dept.

Irish writes: "One of the biggest complaints about Web services is the security issues. IBM and Microsoft just released specifications describing Web Services Security (WS-Security), or enhancements to SOAP messaging to provide quality of protection through message confidentiality and authentication. There is an developerWorks overview document and a whitepaper describing this Web service security model."

    When will /. be secure?

  2. With the 'demise' of Hailstorm... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0

    Looks like everyone's jubilation at Hailstorm's demise was a little premature. Pay for Play is coming, no matter what you may want.

    Don't think of it as losing your rights, think of it as a way to take advantage of others.

  3. Article from InfoWorld - Verisign in on this too by bigmouth_strikes · · Score: 1

    Here's an article from InfoWorld magazine on the same subject.

    http://www.idg.net/ic_846015_4394_1-3921.html

    It does add some more information and comments, but mostly it's a rehash of the original press release. Interesting to see is that this article mentions Verisign as a third partner, which makes quite a difference I think.

    Oh.. and it's got the words "web services", "security" and "privacy" linked a gazillion times.
