xml encryption and signature

["t. winkler" <t....@sdz-medien.de>]

Hello,

I'm writing my thesis on securing webservices with xml-security. Therefore I've programmed a simple webservice with Apache Axis, Web Services Developer's Kit and Tomcat as the webserver. I want to do signature and encryption on this webservice now, but I don't really find good code-examples, I'm relatively new in the JAVA environment and my time is running out. I'd be pleased if someone here could help me out with information and/or code-examples!

Thank you very much!

Regards,
Tobias Winkler

Hi Tobias,

For encryption (Axl's implementation), there are not yet examples. For 
signature, there's a large amount of examples in the src_samples [1] 
directory. An example for the liason to Axis can be found in the Axis 
samples directory [2].

To me, it is a little bit unclrear what exactly you understand under 
"securing webservices". For instance, there is the OASIS WSS WG [3].
