Abstract

SOAP is the basis of Web Services application, and, SOAP messages are glue of heterogeneous Web Services. Secure transit of SOAP messages plays a critical role for the applicability of Web Services. The main challenges to the secure transit of SOAP messages includes: confidentiality, authentication, integrity, both- party nonrepudiation, and single sign-on. Analyze and take advantage of the existing technologies and solutions related to SOAP and Web Services, and a model of secure transmission of SOAP messages is developed, adopting technologies like XML Signature, XML Encryption, and X.509 Certificate. Analysis to the transmission model represents that basic requirements towards secure transmission of SOAP messages are fulfilled and high-level security and efficiency are acquired.
