Security and interoperation
At the time that we wrote this book, the Basic Security Profile Version 1.0 was
still a draft document. Thus, we cannot give a WS-I certification for the
WS-Security implementations. Nevertheless, there are many test cases of
interoperability between the implementation by IBM and the implementation by
Microsoft.
IBM is one of three editors of the Basic Security Profile 1.0, along with Microsoft
and Nortel Networks.
7.6 Further information
Because Web services technology is fast growing and touches many fields, it is
impossible to give a complete view of the technology in this redbook. This
chapter discussed Web services as they relate to our purpose in this book. For a
deeper understanding of Web services, this section lists some useful readings.
Note: The WS-I has recently updated the WS Basic Profile to version 1.1. The
content of the document has been reorganized. However, it is equivalent to
the previous version with the addition of published errata.
