1. The document proposes a framework to improve web services security called Robust Encryption and Decryption (RED). RED includes a common set of encryption algorithms deployed in browsers and web servers. 2. The framework also defines a Standard Encryption Syntax (SES) to allow web applications to communicate with RED for encrypting and decrypting content. Developers can select algorithms from RED and reference them using SES tags. 3. The framework aims to provide stronger encryption than SSL/TLS but with less complexity, cost, and performance impact. It could help secure communication against various network attacks.
