Security remains a concern for organizations creating web services but
developers
using Microsoft Visual Studio have gained an additional tool with the
release of
Web Services Enhancements Beta 3 (WSE 3.0).
WSE 3.0 is an add-on that enables developers using the .NET Framework 2.0
to
apply security policies to web services. Communications can use security and
encryption technologies such as X.509 certificates, security tokens and
Kerberos
tickets. WSE supports password authentication and definition of security
policies that govern communications among services.
Microsoft reports the version 3 beta software
can
co-exist with the prior production version (WSE 2.0).
WSE 3.0 provides an implementation of specifications from the W3C and OASIS,
including WS-Security, WS-Trust, WS-SecureConversation, WS-Addressing and
Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism (MTOM).
