On-line validation of service oriented systems in the European Project TAS3

The European Project TAS³ addresses the challenge of combining the openness, flexibility, dynamicity offered by service-oriented applications, together with privacy, security and reliability characteristics that are required when personal information is handled. In addition to appropriate authorization and authentication mechanisms, it is important to put in place appropriate validation procedures that can check the trustworthiness and dependability of services provided. We outline the Audition framework and discuss how such on-line validation approach can fit within the TAS³ vision of a seamless connected world, where the final users remain in charge for releasing and administering their data.
