Prabath Siriwardana - WSO2 SOA Security Architect, gives out a presentation on secured SOA at the SOA workshop in Colombo, Sri Lanka (September 17, 2009).
- Securing web services involves ensuring confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and non-repudiation of messages. This can be achieved through transport security (HTTPS), message security (XML Encryption and Signature), and security tokens (UsernameToken, X.509).
- WS-Security provides standards for applying security to SOAP messages using XML Signature and Encryption. It supports security tokens like UsernameToken and X.509 profiles.
- WS-Trust allows delegating authentication of external users to their external domains through requesting and issuing security tokens.
- WS-Security Policy allows communicating security requirements like algorithms, key sizes, signed/encrypted elements to external services in a standard way.

Persona: in your browsers, killing your passwordsFrancois Marier
Introduction to Persona, a new cross-browser login system for the web that's built entirely in Javascript. Powered by node.js on the backend, it pushes most of the crypto to the browser in order to create a secure and privacy-sensitive experience.
The Web beyond "usernames & passwords" (OSDC12)Francois Marier
Identity systems on the Web are a bit of a mess. Surely in 2012, we would have something else than usernames and passwords for logging into websites. A solution that doesn't require trusting a central authority with a privacy policy that can change at a whim.
It turns out that solving the general identity problem is very hard. Some of these solutions require complicated redirections, an overwhelming amount of jargon and lots of verbose XML. The technology has been around for a long time, but implementing it properly (and safely) is often incredibly difficult. It's a lot to ask of the millions of part-time developers out there that are building sites out of some quick HTML, a MySQL database and some PHP Code samples.
This talk will explore the challenges of the existing Web identity solutions and introduce the choices that we made during the development of Persona, a new Open Source federated identity solution from Mozilla, designed and built to respect user privacy.
WSO2Con US 2013 - Connected Business - making it happenWSO2
The document discusses the drive towards connected business and making it happen. It describes motivations like Moore's law for data, the growth of app stores and APIs, and the rise of the internet of things. The key aspects of connected business are connecting internal systems and partners to create a platform for internal and external innovation, and virtualizing data, functions and processes with cloud-based approaches. Milestone planning with independent, time- or function-based milestones is recommended to pursue the vision in a structured way.
- Securing web services involves ensuring end-to-end confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and non-repudiation of messages through standards like XML Encryption, XML Signature, WS-Security, WS-Trust, and WS-Security Policy.
- WS-Security provides message-level security through username tokens, X.509 tokens, and XML signatures and encryption. WS-Trust allows delegating authentication to external domains.
- Sign & encrypt and encrypt & sign are two approaches to securing messages with XML Signature and Encryption, with tradeoffs in terms of integrity and confidentiality.
WS-Security is a standard for adding security to web service messages. It provides mechanisms for authentication, integrity, confidentiality and security tokens. It is based on XML Encryption and XML Signature standards and allows profiles to support different crypto technologies like SAML tokens, X.509 tokens and username tokens. WS-Security defines how to include security headers in SOAP messages and reference security tokens and signed/encrypted parts of messages.
Identity, Security and XML Web ServicesJorgen Thelin
The use of security credentials and concepts of single-sign-on and “identity” play a big part in Web Services as developers start writing enterprise-grade line-of-business applications. An overview is provided of the emerging XML security credential standards such as SAML, along with various “identity” standards such as Passport and Liberty. We examine how “identity aware” Web Service implementations need to be, and the value a Web Services platform can add in reducing complexity in this area, with lessons drawn from experiences using J2EE technology for real-world security scenarios.

Less Is More: Utilizing Ballerina to Architect a Cloud Data PlatformWSO2
At its core, the challenge of managing Human Resources data is an integration challenge: estimates range from 2-3 HR systems in use at a typical SMB, up to a few dozen systems implemented amongst enterprise HR departments, and these systems seldom integrate seamlessly between themselves. Providing a multi-tenant, cloud-native solution to integrate these hundreds of HR-related systems, normalize their disparate data models and then render that consolidated information for stakeholder decision making has been a substantial undertaking, but one significantly eased by leveraging Ballerina. In this session, we’ll cover:
The overall software architecture for VHR’s Cloud Data Platform
Critical decision points leading to adoption of Ballerina for the CDP
Ballerina’s role in multiple evolutionary steps to the current architecture
Roadmap for the CDP architecture and plans for Ballerina
WSO2’s partnership in bringing continual success for the CD
The integration landscape is changing rapidly with the introduction of technologies like GraphQL, gRPC, stream processing, iPaaS, and platformless. However, not all existing applications and industries can keep up with these new technologies. Certain industries, like manufacturing, logistics, and finance, still rely on well-established EDI-based message formats. Some applications use XML or CSV with file-based communications, while others have strict on premises deployment requirements. This talk focuses on how Ballerina's built-in integration capabilities can bridge the gap between "old" and "new" technologies, modernizing enterprise applications without disrupting business operations.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
