Summary
Security is a technology that's difficult to grasp, and even more difficult to implement. Of course, this term can be loosely applied to many things, but most advanced Web service developers tend to think of security in terms of message-level security. This message-level security covers the following:
Integrity, which proves a message hasn't been tampered with
Confidentiality, which encrypts and hides message data from unauthorized persons
Authentication, which is about identifying the sender of a message
Using the WSE, you can easily add username token and binary security tokens to a message. You can also add signatures and encrypt messages.
