WS-I eyes secure Web services

The Web Services Interoperability Organization (WS-I) plans to hold a news briefing Tuesday on secure, interoperable Web services.

Presenters will offer up news on WS-I Profiles and insight into upcoming developments, according to a bulletin from the organization. The bulletin states that secure Web services are a "critical requirement" for many enterprises, but it has been impossible until now to have Web services that are both interoperable and secure.

With multiple standards and a list of Web services security methods available, it is becoming more difficult to ensure that service-to-service interactions are interoperable and protected from the "unscrupulous."

Because of this situation, WS-I continues to make security a top priority in interoperability efforts, WS-I said in its bulletin.

Michael Bechauf, president and chair of WS-I, and Paul Cotton, chair of the WS-I Basic Security Profile Working Group, will discuss mechanics of secure interoperable Web services during the presentation.
