Presentation Transcript

  1. Web Services Security Challenges • Based on underlying technologies that already have security challenges • Web services complexities pose new potential problems • Concerns with security standards and their adoption by system and component vendors • Overlapping and possibly incompatible standards

  2. Web services architectural layers

  3. Web services standards • Standards for describing, discovering, and invoking web services • Based on XML • Represent data totally independent of application, protocol, vocabulary, OS, programming language • Described using XML schema • Standards organizational committees: • World wide web consortium (W3C) • Organization for the advancement of structured information standards (OASIS) • Web services interoperability (WS-I) organization • Liberty alliance • Internet engineering task force (IETF)

  4. Layers and web services standards

  5. Web services security standards • Several security-related specifications for providing security for web Services including: • WS-Security • Web Services Security Addendum • WS-Security Policy • WS-Trust • WS-Secure Conversation • Web Services Security Profile for XML-based Tokens • WS-Federation • WSPL (Web Services Policy Language) • The Liberty Alliance Project • These security protocols can bind to Web services messaging protocols • Designed to be modular and composable, to allow developers to use just the required capabilities • Key to the success of Web services is open standards and interoperability among service providers
