A Secure Framework for Business Process Execution

A web service is a method of communication between two electronic devices over the World Wide Web. The web service is a software function that provides different business functionality to service consumers. The set of web services can be composed together as a composition operation to fulfill and achieve the complex business requirements with the help of Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) or business processes. The existing business processes are having set of merits such as industry oriented approach and good control over workflow design. The business processes are unable to support for human user interaction, encryption and decryption mechanisms for providing the security for its data processing, therefore, the data process by business processes will not be secure from unauthorized users over the network. In this paper, we propose a secure framework for business processes to provide data security over the network. The proposed framework implements Caesar Cipher technique of cryptography with an example. The proposed technique transmits data in a secure manner over the network.
