There is a SOAP Security Extensions Digital Signature W3C Note from last February http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP-dsig/ Work in the XML encryption group http://www.w3.org/Encryption/2001/ is coming along nicely and there will be a parallel mechanism for SOAP with encryption. The SOAP 1.2 draft http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-soap12-20010709/ is baseline SOAP functionality. Quite a lot is being added on top of it to satisfy specific needs like digital signature and encryption. > -----Original Message----- > From: Brian E Carpenter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2001 7:58 AM > To: Keith Moore > Cc: Tomlinson, Gary; Randy Bush; Lloyd Wood; John Martin; > [EMAIL PROTECTED]; > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Comparison of ICAP and SOAP > > > > Web Services intermediaries will certainly exist and use SOAP; whether > they are exactly like the current OPES model is still unclear.
