IEEE Workshop on Web Services Security

(In conjunction with the 2006 IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy)

The workshop will be held on Sunday May 21, 2006 on the UC Berkeley campus

CALL FOR PAPERS

The advance of Web Services technologies promises to have far reaching
effects on the Internet and enterprise networks. Web services based on
eXtensible Markup Language (XML), Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)
and related open standards in the area of Service Oriented
Architectures (SOA) allow data and applications to interact without
human intervention through dynamic and adhoc connections. However, the
security challenges presented by the Web Services approach are
formidable. Many of the features that make Web Services attractive are
at odds with traditional security models and controls. This workshop
will explore the challenges in the area of Web Services Security
ranging from security issues in XML, SOAP and UDDI to higher level
issues such as advanced metadata, general security policies and
service assurance.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:

a)Web services and GRID computing security
b)Authentication and authorization
c)Integrity and transaction management for Web Services
d)Use of Web Services in Trusted Computing Platform
e)Semantic aware Web Services security
f)Privacy and digital identity
g)Trust negotiation for Web Services
h)Secure web service composition and workflows
