Breaking News - Security:
New Book Lays Down Basics Of Web Services Security
Service Integrity, developer of XML Visibility Software, announced the release
of "Securing Web Services with WS-Security," the first comprehensive book
covering the SAML 1.1 and WS-Security Standards. Published by SAMS Publishing,
the book is co-authored by Jothy Rosenberg, founder, CEO and CTO of Service
Integrity, and David Remy, director and product architect for BEA Systems Inc.
The work will aid IT management and Web services developers as they comply
with the WS-Security standard, which was approved as an official OASIS
standard in April.
"Rosenberg and Remy effectively and clearly explain Web services security for
all levels, whether you are a beginner or an expert," said Greg Shanton,
senior principal and chief technology officer of Enterprise Security Group.
"This book is very important and timely for anyone trying to understand,
implement and secure Web services business applications."
Web services security is a major factor touted by corporations as a reason
they are moving slowly on Web services deployments. This book not only walks
them through how to use XML Signature, XML Encryption, SAML and WS-Security to
secure their Web services, but it also serves as a comprehensive resource on
security in general and in particular, message-based security. With this book,
the developers and operators of Web services can now proceed armed with a
definitive guide to what they need to know to navigate the challenging waters
of Web services security.
"Web services represents an important and exciting new enterprise application
architecture. Traditionally, security for new architectures took time to
evolve, which caused significant problems," said Peter Kuper, director of
infrastructure and security software, SG Cowan. "The WS-Security standard
mitigates those concerns. This new book will make it easy for architects and
developers to implement security right from the start in their enterprise's
critical Web services."
