[jira] Created: (RAMPART-126) Support "Known Key" symmetric encryption and/or signature with WS-Policy

Support "Known Key" symmetric encryption and/or signature with WS-Policy
------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: RAMPART-126
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAMPART-126
             Project: Rampart
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: rampart-policy
            Reporter: Paul Fremantle


Suppose I have two Rampart engines talking, and I want a quick and easy way to set up encryption between them, I would like to use symmetric key encryption. I simply want to put the key into the config of each engine and then let them talk. That way I have no need to specify keystores, certificates, etc. This is equivalent to sample09 in the old config style.

[jira] Commented: (RAMPART-126) Support "Known Key" symmetric encryption and/or signature with WS-Policy

Nandana Mihindukulasooriya commented on RAMPART-126:
----------------------------------------------------

I think this will be very useful. When thinking about the implementation of this without violating  ws - security policy language specification, two questions came to my mind. 

1. How can we define this key using a token assertion 

2. How can we create reference to this key

As ws - security policy language is open for extension we define a new token assertion for this and define a standard way to reference these keys. But then it will break the interoperability. If there is a way to get requirement done using  default security policy assertions defined in the specification we can make this interoperable too. Can we use a SecurityContextToken for this ? and may be a SHA1 of the binary key as the reference ?
