Fourteen companies join to demonstrate WS-Security
April 27, 2005 Fourteen large IT companies and Web services developers joined together for the first time to demonstrate interoperability of the WS-Security OASIS Standard, at the Gartner Application Integration and Web Services Summit in Los Angeles a week ago. WS-Security, developed by the OASIS Web Services Security (WSS) TC, delivers a technical foundation for implementing security functions such as integrity and confidentiality in messages implementing higher-level Web services applications. Gartner analyst, Ray Wagner, describes WS-Security as "the standard for the majority of Web services...committing to it now will allow enterprises to easily modify the security profile of deployed Web services in the future."  WS-Security allows a wide range of key security methods such as authentication and access control to be reliably, readily associated with SOAP messages. The OASIS InterOp at the Gartner Summit demonstrated the exchange of messages protected by WS-Security using the X.509 Token Profile. "It is gratifying to see so many vendors supporting the WS-Security OASIS Standard with their interoperable implementations," observed Hal Lockhart of BEA Systems, lead of the OASIS InterOp team. "We came together with a common goal: to make it clear to all implementers-not just the larger enterprises that have already embraced the standard-that the time is right to adopt WS-Security." Patrick Gannon, president and CEO of OASIS, agreed. "WS-Security provides a key component for the broader security frameworks that users need. Many of the participants in today's InterOp are also deeply involved in advancing other OASIS Standards for security, such as the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) and the eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML). The synergy between these efforts goes a long way towards meeting the marketplace's need for a cohesive fit between standards," said Gannon, who also participated in Gartner's "Power Panel: A Conversation on Standards" at the event.
