摘要:
A web services framework consists of a modular, extensible stack of XML specifications and standards targeting the emerging infrastructure in which distributed, heterogeneous applications are exposed by different organizations as services on the Internet. These services have their capabilities described and published in a machine readable format.

Methods, systems, and products are disclosed in which generating evidence of web services transactions are provided generally by receiving in an ultimate recipient web service from an initial sender a request, the request containing a proof of message origin (‘PMO’). The PMO contains an element addressed to the ultimate recipient web service and the element bears a first signature, the first signature having a value. Embodiments also include authenticating the identity of the initial sender; creating a proof of message receipt (‘PMR’) including signing the value of the first signature; sending the PMR to the initial sender, receiving, by the initial sender, the PMR; and saving, by the initial sender, the PMR.

A method and apparatus for implementing a new Permission for methods that perform callback operations are provided. The method and apparatus provide an AdoptPermission Permission type that allows a method to pass a Java 2 authorization test without having the specific required Permissions expressly granted to the method and without the method having the AllPermission Permission granted to it. With the apparatus and method, an AdoptPermission Permission type is defined that operates to allow a ProtectionDomain to “adopt” a required Permission. However, this adoption of a required Permission can only be performed if the ProtectionDomain of at least one method in the thread stack has been granted a Permission that implies the required Permission. Thus, the AdoptPermission Permission type provides an intermediate mechanism that is not as over-inclusive as the AllPermission Permission type and is not as under-inclusive as requiring that all methods in the thread stack include the required Permission expressly granted to them.

A method is presented in which federated domains interact within a federated environment. Domains within a federation can initiate federated single-sign-on operations for a user at other federated domains. A point-of-contact server within a domain relies upon a trust proxy within the domain to manage trust relationships between the domain and the federation. Trust proxies interpret assertions from other federated domains as necessary. Trust proxies may have a trust relationship with one or more trust brokers, and a trust proxy may rely upon a trust broker for assistance in interpreting assertions.

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to access control and provide a method, system and computer program product for access control management for a collection of heterogeneous application components. In a first embodiment, a data processing system for role-based access control management for multiple heterogeneous application components can include at least one business role descriptor associating a business role with multiple, different application roles for corresponding, disparate application components. The system also can include at least one access policy associating a user with the business role. Finally, the system can include policy deployment logic include program code enabled to process the access policy to assign the user to the different application roles in the disparate application components.

Methods, systems, and products are disclosed in which secure data communications in web services are provided generally by receiving in a web service from a client a request containing an element bearing a first signature, the signature having a value; signing the value of the first signature, thereby creating a second signature; and sending a response from the web service to the client, the response including the second signature. The requester may verify that the response includes the second signature. The request may be encrypted, and the response may be encrypted. The first signature may be encrypted, and the web service may encrypt the value of the first signature and include the encrypted value of the first signature in the response. The web service may receive a request encoded in SOAP and may send a response also encoded in SOAP.

A method and system is presented for supporting the establishment of a secure communication session within a data processing system. A certificate request command is sent from a server to a client. A certificate command is received at the server from the client in response to the certificate request command, and the certificate command is accompanied by a public key certificate and an attribute certificate that is digitally signed by a private key that is bound to the public key certificate. A secure communication session is established in response to successfully verifying the public key certificate. The attribute certificate contains credential information for an authentication operation or an authorization operation that is performed after establishment of the secure communication session.

A method, system and apparatus for federated identity brokering. In accordance with the present invention, a credential processing gateway can be disposed between one or more logical services and one or more service requesting clients in a computer communications network. Acting as a proxy and a trusted authority to the logical services, the credential processing gateway can map the credentials of the service requesting clients to the certification requirements of the logical services. In this way, the credential processing gateway can act as a federated identity broker in providing identity certification services for a multitude of different service requesting clients without requiring the logical services to include a pre-configuration for specifically processing the credentials of particular service requesting clients.
摘要:
A method, an apparatus, a system, and a computer program product are presented for validating certificates. A certificate validation service receives a certificate validation request for a target certificate from a client, thereby allowing the client to offload certificate validation tasks into an online certificate validation service that is accessible and sharable by multiple components within a data processing system. In response to a determination that the target certificate is valid or invalid, the certificate validation service sends a certificate validation response with an indicating status value that the target certificate is valid or invalid. The certificate validation service is able to cache information about previously validated certificates and the associated certificate chains, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the service. Different certificate validation policies may be applied against target certificates based upon information associated with the target certificates.
