Hi,

What is the most secure option for web service security that is also
easily interoperable between .NET and java, or other technologies?
Suppose you are developing a .NET WS, and plan to have many callers
using many different technologies, which mechanism would you choose for
authentication and authorization?

Thanks,

Jon Paugh

Hi,

SSL and client certificates! this depends of course on your scenario - but
definitely the most secure+interoperable solution.

go only for ws-security if you need support for intermediaries and custom
authentication schemes.

Thanks. I guess that handles authorization and encryption.
