The Scene
Various standards and wannabe standards initiatives started recently:
- HTTP-R
- SOAP & BEEP
- XACL
- SAML & Shiboleth
- S2ML & AuthXML
- XTAML
- XML Signature
- XML Encryption
- XKMS
- Microsoft Passport
- ...
Notes:
HTTP-R –> extended transport for SOAP
SOAP & BEEP –> toolkits for building protocols
XACL –> access control
SAML & Shiboleth –> assertion based security
S2ML & AuthXML –> Single Sign On
XML Signature, XML Encryption, XKMS -> “underlying” security mechanisms, the most standarized (W3C)
Microsoft Passport –> kind of escrow, dangerous idea
