Glen Mazza commented on CXF-1636:
---------------------------------
> -1 to this. Both the nonce and created elements are optional as per the
> specification (albeit "recommended"),
> I don't think we should be forcing this behaviour on the average user.
Colm, are you a CXF committer? I did not find you on the list.
> Have WSS4J in/out interceptors require nonces and timestamps when using
> UsernameTokens?

> Our WSS4J In/Out interceptors[1][2] do not appear to be requiring
> UsernameTokens to have timestamps and nonces. From [3], lines 176-190, these
> are used to prevent replay attacks (i.e., an intruder just copying the entire
> soap header, encrypted or not, and reusing it for another request).
> To fix this problem, this blog sample[4] created a separate interceptor that
> will reject any UsernameToken that does not have both a timestamp and a
> nonce. Perhaps we should update our WSS4J in/out interceptors to require
> both of these, so external users don't need to do this.
> A question though--I'm unsure where the nonce-checking is being done--our
> WSS4J interceptors seem to be ignoring them, but perhaps WSS4J is doing the
> checking/validation that they are not being used more then once.
