Reactivity, Inc. which bills itself as "the leader in secure XML infrastructure," participated with 13 other vendors for the first time to demonstrate interoperability of the WS-Security OASIS Standard at the Gartner Application Integration and Web Services Summit in Los Angeles.
The Reactivity Security Gateway demonstrated its ability to interoperate with products from the other vendors during the exchange of messages protected by WS-Security using the X.509 Token Profile.
WS-Security provides the foundation layer for a variety of secure Web services, laying the groundwork for higher-level facilities such as federation, policy and trust.
The standard defines a set of Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) extensions, or message headers, that can be used to implement integrity and confidentiality in Web services applications, and allows a wide range of key security methods such as authentication and access control to be reliably, readily associated with SOAP messages.
"Reactivity first demonstrated successful WS-Security interoperability at the Web Services Security Technical Committee gathering in June 2003, and we are excited to be participating in this much broader WS-Security OASIS InterOp event at the Gartner Summit,” said Andrew Nash, CTO of Reactivity. “Reactivity fully supports the efforts of the OASIS WS-Security technical committee, and is committed to providing interoperable XML Web service security products.”
OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards)produces open standards for Web services, security, e-business, and standardization efforts in the public sector and for application-specific markets.
