Enterprise Web Services Security
The whole point of a web service is to make your information, application, or service available to others. Of course this convenience comes at a cost - you also open your system to various security risks. This book examines the exposure, risks, and ways to mitigate those risks while still providing the services you need. In addition to the risks associated with web services the authors also examine the goals of good security, and the infrastructure of the Internet, After laying this ground work they provide an excellent discussion of policies, encryptions, trust relationships, auditing, and everything you need to help secure your web services. Chapter 15 then provides an excellent section on bringing all the information together by setting up a virtual trust domain to secure your web services. The book even includes a prototype security policy document in Appendix A which forms an excellent framework for developing your own. Enterprise Web Services Security is a recommended read.
