َA Cryptography Approach on Security Layer of Web Services

چکیده مقاله

Nowadays, web services turned in to a hot spot for hackers as they include valuable information. WS-Security is a standard that states a strategy and specifications to bring different security technologies together as a result of investigations about the safety of web services, especially, the confidentiality of exchanged messages. In this paper, we concentrate on the security challenges of WSDL file of web services and present a new cryptography approach to secure this via WS-Security standard. As an unwelcome side effect, the response time increase in deals with such services, so applying this security layer is suited for web services that provide specific types of services and the information contained in their WSDL files are valuable resource for attackers.
