Nandana Mihindukulasooriya commented on RAMPART-126:
----------------------------------------------------

I think this will be very useful. When thinking about the implementation of 
this without violating  ws - security policy language specification, two 
questions came to my mind. 

1. How can we define this key using a token assertion 

2. How can we create reference to this key

As ws - security policy language is open for extension we define a new token 
assertion for this and define a standard way to reference these keys. But then 
it will break the interoperability. If there is a way to get requirement done 
using  default security policy assertions defined in the specification we can 
make this interoperable too. Can we use a SecurityContextToken for this ? and 
may be a SHA1 of the binary key as the reference ?

> Support "Known Key" symmetric encryption and/or signature with WS-Policy

> Suppose I have two Rampart engines talking, and I want a quick and easy way 
> to set up encryption between them, I would like to use symmetric key 
> encryption. I simply want to put the key into the config of each engine and 
> then let them talk. That way I have no need to specify keystores, 
> certificates, etc. This is equivalent to sample09 in the old config style.
