Building Security into a Service-Oriented Architecture

Tags:
web services

Overview Service-oriented architectures (SOAs) based upon Web Services are an evolutionary improvement upon existing IT architectures, primarily because these SOAs offer loose coupling between Service producers and consumers. Such loose coupling enables an enterprise’s IT infrastructure to be agile in the face of change. However, Service-oriented approaches to security require a management solution that both supports and enables the SOA as well as its security infrastructure. Such a management solution must enable and support loose coupling, so that the security infrastructure in an SOA can itself be Service-oriented.
