 Oracle Tools
for securing a Service-Oriented Architecture
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a set of technologies and
methodologies for accessing resources across a network. XML and Web Services are key
components of an SOA. Security and interoperability are necessary requirements when resources
are made accessible across heterogeneous networks.
Oracle Security Developer Tools
include standards based implementations of the key security protocols needed to secure an SOA.
Note that these security protocols are not exclusively SOA specific. These are infrastructure
technologies that secure XML and Web Services in any context.
- XML Encryption and XML Signature helps to ensure a secure and interoperable
exchange of data, in accordance with the W3C specifications.
- Web Services Security (WSS) provides a framework for authentication
and authorization using existing security technologies as outlined in the OASIS
specification for Web Services Security.
- SAML provides a framework for the exchange of security credentials
amongst disparate systems and applications in an XML based format as outlined
in the OASIS specification for the Security Assertions Mark-up Language. SAML is
an essential component of an interoperable Single Sign-On (SSO) environment.
