Abstract
The advance of Web applications, services, and server technologies promises to have far-reaching effects on the Internet and enterprise networks. Web applications, services, and servers based on the eXtensible Markup Language (XML), Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), related open standards, and deployed in Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA), allow data and applications to interact without human intervention through dynamic and ad hoc connections. Web applications, services, and server technology can be implemented in a wide variety of architectures; can coexist with other technologies and software design approaches; and can be adopted in an evolutionary manner without requiring major transformations to legacy applications and databases. The security challenges presented by the web applications, services, and server approach are formidable and unavoidable. Many of the features that make web applications, services, and servers attractive (including greater accessibility of data, dynamic application-to-application connections, and relative autonomy (lack of human intervention)), are at odds with traditional security models and controls. The primary purpose of this chapter is to inform the reader about securing web applications, services, and servers.
