signature and encryption in SOAP - was -> RE: Comparison of ICAP and SOAP

2001-07-10 10:05:49

There is a SOAP Security Extensions Digital Signature W3C Note from last
February   http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP-dsig/

Work in the XML encryption group http://www.w3.org/Encryption/2001/ is
coming along nicely and there will be a parallel mechanism for SOAP with
encryption.

The SOAP 1.2 draft http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-soap12-20010709/ is baseline
SOAP functionality.  Quite a lot is being added on top of it to satisfy
specific needs like digital signature and encryption.

Web Services intermediaries will certainly exist and use SOAP; whether
they are exactly like the current OPES model is still unclear. Indeed
the security/integrity problems have to be solved, and this is more
fundamental than debating the ICAP hammer and the SOAP screwdriver.

so by adding components that can alter data in transit, you're going
to increase the level of integrity?    right.
