Title: Secure Addressing Profile 1.0
Author/editors: D. Merrill
Abstract: The WS-Addressing 1.0 -- Core specification is often used to
address Web Service resources using endpoint reference (EPR) data
structures. The WS-Addressing definition of the EPR describes the
encapsulation of the network protocol and endpoint information for a
given resource, but does not specifically indicate how the EPR can
also be used to convey the secure-communication mechanisms (and
ancillary security tokens) required by that resource. Such security
requirements can be described using WS-Security Policy 1.2 policy
documents. This profile document normatively refines the
WS-Addressing 1.0 -- Core specification in order to facilitate the
inclusion of such WS-SecurityPolicy assertions within WS-Addressing
endpoint references.
It is often the case that WS-Addressing EPRs may be stored and
exchanged by any number of intermediaries (such as directory services)
before being consumed for actual communication. With this in mind, a
particular interaction scenario may require guarantees of trust
regarding the identity of the minter and the integrity of the EPR.
This document also normatively describes how XML-Signature is used
provide such guarantees.
