Title: Not much about web services
Product review: This booklet introduces basic security concepts, but talks very little about SOAP/XML-based web services. For some reason, it spends much of the book describing Microsoft-specific security features, but that information is not very relevant to SOAP-based web services.I thought this book covered the wrong material, and it did not do a particularly inspired job of even explaining the topics chosen by the author. All the material related to web services was very vague, with little or no examples. The coverage of Microsoft product information was much more specific, but that was not what the book was supposed to cover.The booklet made brief mention of XML Digital Signatures. It should have focused on all of the new technologies under the WS-Security umbrella, plus technologies like SAML. 20 pages introducing that stuff would have been great.
