WS-Security provides a security language for Web services. WS-Security describes enhancements to SOAP messaging providing three capabilities: credential exchange, message integrity, and message confidentiality. These three mechanisms can be used independently or in combination to accommodate a wide variety of security models and encryption technologies. WS-Security provides a general-purpose mechanism for associating licenses (credentials that are signed assertions, e.g., X.509 certificates or Kerberos tickets) with messages. No specific type of credential is required. Message integrity is provided by leveraging XML Signature and licenses to ensure that messages are transmitted without modifications. Similarly, message confidentiality leverages XML Encryption and licenses to keep portions of a SOAP messages confidential.
