TL;DR: This paper provides a tutorial on current security standards for XML and Web services and discusses standards including XML Signature, XML Encryption, the XML Key Management Specification (XKMS), WS-Security, WS-Trust,WS-SecureConversation, Web Services Policy, and the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML).
Abstract: XML and Web services are widely used in current distributed systems. The security of the XML based communication, and the Web services themselves, is of great importance to the overall security of these systems. Furthermore, in order to facilitate interoperability, the security mechanisms should preferably be based on established standards. In this paper we provide a tutorial on current security standards for XML and Web services. The discussed standards include XML Signature, XML Encryption, the XML Key Management Specification (XKMS), WS-Security, WS-Trust, WS-SecureConversation, Web Services Policy, WS-SecurityPolicy, the eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML), and the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML).
TL;DR: XKMS greatly simplifies the deployment of enterprise strength Public Key Infrastructure by transferring complex processing tasks from the client application to a Trust Service.
Abstract: The XML Key Management Specification (XKMS) is described. XKMS is a Web Service that provides an interface between an XML application and a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). XKMS greatly simplifies the deployment of enterprise strength Public Key Infrastructure by transferring complex processing tasks from the client application to a Trust Service.
TL;DR: By means of a review of the available literature the authors draw several conclusions about the status quo of XML security and the current state and focuses of research as well as the existing challenges are derived.
TL;DR: This article compared short-lived certificates, Certificate Revocation Lists, the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) and the XML Key Management Specification with regard to security, interoperability, complexity and performance in terms of size and scalability and proposed OCSP for delegated certificate validation.
TL;DR: This article analyzes the XML key management specification (XKMS) that is shaped by W3C and mainly discusses the composition and working mechanism of the specification.
Abstract: This article analyzes the XML key management specification(XKMS) that is shaped by W3C,it mainly discusses the composition and working mechanism of the specification ,an implementation is presented that uses XKMS service to register and retrieve the key.
