Identity, Security, and XML Web Services -- The Importance of Interoperable Security Credentials
1 like1,395 views
The document discusses identity, security, and XML web services. It defines identity as who a person is and how they prove it. Identity provides permissions in computing systems as in real life. Standards like SAML and WS-Security encode identity credentials in XML for use in web services. Examples show username tokens, X.509 certificates, and SAML assertions transmitted in SOAP message headers to authenticate callers and pass identity attributes between systems.
