The New XML Standards for Secure Web Services
Overview Until recently, Web services security was based on Public-Key Infrastructure (PKI) at the transport level. Most Web services developers with security concerns rely on SSL/TLS (Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security) encryption, the industry-accepted standard protocol for secured encrypted communications over TCP/IP. But SSL doesn't work that well for Web services. A number of XML security technologies are emerging to address the Web services security requirements unaddressed by SSL. These initiatives include XML-Encryption, which enables data to be encrypted at the message layer and thus keeps the message confidential between hops, and XML-Signature, which can be used to detect changes to the message between hops.
