Any company using . NET will eventually (if it hasn't already) expose part of its functionality as a . NET Web service, and securing these features will become job number one. Expert Web Services Security in the . NET Platform is a comprehensive treatment on how to secure Web services on the . NET platform. This book specifically focuses on Web services security, not general . NET security.
Authors Brian Nantz and Laurence Moroney lay the foundation for a complete discussion of Web services security in the . NET platform by first describing the key aspects of security for the Windows operating system, Internet Information Services, and ASP. NET. They show developers how to use the WS-Security W3C specifications for industry-standard authentication, encryption, authorization, XML signature, attachments, and routing with Web services. The specific working code examples and clear-cut explanations will assist developers in readily integrating Web services security into their applications.
