Web Services And Security

Irish writes: "One of the biggest complaints about Web services is the security issues. IBM and Microsoft just released specifications describing Web Services Security (WS-Security), or enhancements to SOAP messaging to provide quality of protection through message confidentiality and authentication. There is an developerWorks overview document and a whitepaper describing this Web service security model."

It does add some more information and comments, but mostly it's a rehash of the original press release. Interesting to see is that this article mentions Verisign as a third partner, which makes quite a difference I think.

Oh.. and it's got the words "web services", "security" and "privacy" linked a gazillion times.
