563.4 Web Services Presented by: Carl A. Gunter University of Illinois Spring 2006
Today’s Web • Designed for applications involving human interactions • Intended purpose • Information sharing: a distributed content library • Enabled B2C e-commerce • Non-automated B2B interactions • How did it happen? • Built on very few standards: http + html • Simple interaction model: very few assumptions • Result was ubiquity
What’s Next? • Improve machine-to-machine protocols to enable more automation. • Use a readily-extensible foundation. • Build in security from the start. • Overcome limits to widespread web deployment of Corba, DCOM, etc.
Strategy: use XML as a foundation for both infrastructure and application formats. Build a stack of XML-based processing layers. Create XML-based security mechanisms that integrate with existing approaches (e.g. X.509). Web Services
Web Services Architecture UDDI Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration • Provide a Directory of Services on the Internet WSDL Web Services Description Language • Web Services are defined in terms of the formats and ordering of messages SOAP • Web Services consumers send and receive SOAP messages XML & HTTP • Built using open Internet protocols
XML • Extensible Markup Language • Meta language that • Allows to create and format own document markups • A method for putting structured data into a text file - easy to read - unambiguous - extensible - platform-independent
Sample XML Example <?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“…”?> <msg:message from=“id” to=“id” xmlns:msg=“URI” xmlns:po=“URI”> <msg:text> Hi please bill to the following address </msg:text> <msg:item> <po:po id=“123”> <po:billto> <po:company> Skateboard </po:company> <po:street> One Warehouse Park </po:street> <po:city> Boston </po:city> </po:billto> </po:po> </msg:item> </msg:message>
XML Declaration <?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“…”?> • <?xml ?> the XML declaration • Not required, but typically used • Attributes include: • Version • Encoding – the character encoding
XML Element <msg:message from=“id” to=“id” xmlns:msg=“URI” xmlns:po=“URI”> <msg:text> Hi please bill the following </msg:text> <msg:item> <po:po id=“123”> … </po:po> </msg:item> </msg:message>
XML Attribute <msg:message from=“id” to=“id” xmlns:msg=“URI” xmlns:po=“URI”> … <po:po id=“123”> … </po:po> </msg:message> • XML Attribute • Describes additional information about an element • <tag key=”value”> text</tag>
XML Namespaces <msg:message from=“id” to=“id” xmlns:msg=“URI” xmlns:po=“URI”> … </msg:message> • Namespaces • Not mandatory, but useful in giving uniqueness to an element • Declared using the xmlns:name= “value”
SOAP • An XML envelope for XML messaging • Headers + body • SOAP is “transport independent” • Supports both messaging and RPC SOAP Envelope SOAP Header : encoding, authentication, transaction information, etc. SOAP Body SOAP Body Block : parameters, return values, etc SOAP Fault
SOAP Message Example <?xml … ?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV=“URI” > <SOAP-ENV:Header> <t:Transaction xmlns:t=“URI” SOAP-ENV:mustUnderstand=“1” > 12345 </t:Transaction> <p:Priority xmlns:p=“URI”> Very High </p:Priority> </SOAP-ENV:Header> <SOAP-ENV:Body> “XML Document” </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
AMPol Project • Adaptive Messaging Policy Project concerns next-generation messaging systems with improved security, flexibility, and integration. • Principal activities • WSEmail • Dynamic policy adaptation • Attribute-Based Messaging (ABM)
AMPol Principal Activities • WSEmail • Dynamic policy adaptation • Attribute-based messaging
Internet Email • Based on a collection of protocols • SMTP, POP, IMAP, S/MIME • Evolved over a vast installed base • Shortcomings • Flexibility • Security • Integration
Approaches to Improvement • Make incremental changes and overlays for the existing protocols • Redesign the system from a low level • Example: instant messaging • Create a design from another high-level foundation • Example: use HTTP and SSL
Began at Penn with support from Microsoft Aim: use web services as a new foundation for email as a way to improve security, flexibility, and integration Ongoing project at both UIUC and Penn Applications Instant messaging Routed forms On-demand attachments Theory Using Proverif and TuleFale Performance .NET implementation on a small testbed WSEmail Project Lux May Bhattad Gunter 05
Implementation • WSEmail implemented over .NET framework with Web Services Enhancement (WSE) • Messages stored on SQL Server 2000 • Version 1.0 has • 68 interfaces • 343 classes • 30 projects • C# .NET-managed code created with MS Visual Studio • DNS SRV records used for routing.
WSEmail Test-bed Machines: Pentium4 Network: 100Mb switched Ethernet Client Machines: 2.8GHz, 512MB RAM Server (Si): 2.8GHz, 1GB RAM Database (Sdb): 2.4GHz, 1GB RAM Internet Emulator (Se): 2.8GHz, 512MB RAM
Each client will send 2000 requests to Si Operations: send message, list headers, retrieve message, delete message (each with equal chance) Sent messages include local recipient (a user on Si) and an external recipient (a user on Se). Test coordinator holds test parameters that clients receive and parse Message database is pre-populated with a few entries Test coordinator signals test start Clients non-deterministically pick an action to perform, based on upon test parameters Parameters
Average latency: .274 sec / msg Rate of 1786 msg / min Client machines sent 36.4MB and received 369.4MB Test took 1824 sec to execute Benchmark comparison to SMTP on our machines showed .170 sec / msg with messages of similar size Benchmark UW Parkside peak usage figures were 1716 msg / min Results

Theory • On Demand Attachments Protocol • Nine messages, four parties • Complex messages • Want to prove that receiving an attachment means it was sent by the sender in the from field
AMPol Principal Activities • WSEmail • Dynamic policy adaptation • Attribute-based messaging Afandi Zhang Hafiz Gunter 06
Policy Adaptation • Large-scale systems often cannot operate under a uniform policy • Scalability can be aided by allowing parties to express policies that must be satisfied in interactions • Apply this idea to messaging systems to achieve adaptive messaging policy • Case study for email based on WSEmail
Architectural Components • Policy Model • What policies can be expressed • Our instantiation: AMPL and APES (Attachments, Payment, Encryption, Signature) • Policy Discovery • Policy merging • Policy Query Protocol (PQP) • Extension and Enforcement • Conformance • Extension • Enforcement
