Web services spec is approved
OASIS on Wednesday announced the approval of the WS-Security 1.1 specification as an OASIS Standard.
The approval gives the specification OASIS's highest level of ratification. WS-Security is always mentioned as one of the more high-profile Web services specifications, among the many that are out there. WS-Security provides functions such as integrity and confidentiality in messages implementing higher level Web services applications, according to OASIS.
Included in version 1.1 are extra profiles for Kerberos, Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), SOAP with Attachments and Rights Expression Language.
OASIS listed vendors collaborating on the specification, which reads like a Who's Who of computer vendors. The list includes: Actional, Adobe, AmberPoint, BEA Systems, BMC Software, Computer Associates, EMC, Forum Systems, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Neustar, Nokia, Oracle, Reactivity, RSA Security, SAP, Sun Microsystems, Tibco, VeriSign, and others.
