T3. Web Services and XML Security

Course Overview

The movement towards Web Services and Service Oriented architecture (SOA) paradigms requires new security paradigms to deal with new risks posed by these architectures. This session takes a pragmatic approach towards identifying Web Services security risks and selecting and applying countermeasures to the application, code, web servers, databases, application, and identity servers and related software.

Many enterprises are currently developing new Web Services and/or adding and acquiring Web Services functionality into existing applications -- now is the time to build security into the system!

Details

Topics covered include understanding how web application risks (such as those in OWASP Guide and OWASP Top Ten) apply in a Web Services world, and Web Services security topics including:

• Web Services attack patterns
• Common XML attack patterns
• Data and XML security using WS-Security, SAML, XML Encryption and XML Digital Signature
• Identity services and federation with SAML and Liberty
• Hardening Web Services servers
• Input validation for Web Services
• Integrating Web Services securely with backend resources and applications using WS-Trust
• Secure Exception handling in Web Services
