TulaFale: A Security Tool for Web Services

Date: January 2008
Type: White Paper
Rating: (0)

Overview: Web services security specifications are typically expressed as a mixture of XML schemes, example messages, and narrative explanations. Web services specifications support SOAP-level security via a syntax for embedding cryptographic materials in SOAP messages. To meet their security goals, web services and their clients can construct and check security headers in messages, according to the WS-Security format. Web services may be vulnerable to many of the well-papered classes of attack on ordinary websites. This paper proposes a new specification language called TulaFale for writing complementary machine-checkable descriptions of SOAP-based security protocols and their properties.
