Mastering Web Services Security

By Bret Hartman, Donald Flinn, Konstantin Beznosov, and Shirley Kawamoto

We present material on how to use the architectures and technologies and how to understand the specifications that are available to build a secure Web Services system. Since this technology is rapidly changing, we present the theory behind the models and explain the thinking behind many of the security specifications that are at the forefront of the technology today.

Our emphasis is on showing you how to build and understand the complexities of a secure end-to-end Web Services system. This book gives you both a detailed technical understanding of the major components of an end-to-end enterprise security architecture and a broad description of how to deploy and use Web Services security technologies to protect your corporation and its interaction with the outside world.
