Title: Covers all the bases
Review: This very readable book covers the Web services security area well, devoting chapters to all the usual suspects (XML Encryption, XKMS, WS-Security, SAML, et al). The C# and Java code examples are neat, and I was pleased to see the new .NET Web Services Enhancements used in the code.The standout chapters are on XKMS (I guess that must have been Phill Hallam-Baker's contribution), the WS-Security roadmap, and a chapter on the legal implications of Web services. It's not often you find a legal chapter in a technology book - I guess that is a sign of the times. One of the case studies in the appendix focusses on implementing the Vordel product, though the rest of the book is vendor-neutral.A lot of this stuff is a moving target, so I'd like to have seen a website of updates provided. But the book itself is an excellent introduction to this over-hyped and sometimes confusing area - highly recommended.
