Research and Implementation of a Mechanism for Web Services Secure Communications

With the development and application of Web services technologies, some issues of Web services security are increasingly prominent Secure communications for Web services demand secure transport of SOAP messages at application layer However, existing secure transport solutions such as SSL and TLS are not suitable for protecting message security at application layer, and cannot meet this requirement A mechanism for Web services secure communications based on XML security technologies is proposed in terms of Web services application modes Through secure session mechanism, it not only provides the identity authentication functionality with relatively high security level, but also improves the efficiency of secure communications The SOAPSec system is also designed and implemented, which ensures secure transport of SOAP messages at application layer This mechanism has the advantages of flexibility and extensibility, and can meet various requirements of secure communications in typical Web services application scenarios
