Patterns & Practices: Web Service Security Patterns

There are a considerable number of options available to the architect and developer when it comes to Web service security. In addition to this documentation, Microsoft provides recommendations for designing architecturally sound applications in its patterns & practices guidance. Microsoft patterns & practices are not Microsoft products, but rather scenario specific applied engineering guidance that describes how to use Microsoft products in the context of developing and deploying applications, including source code.

Specifically, the Web Service Security Patterns guidance contains reliable, accurate information on how to design and implement secure Web services and includes sample scenarios, primers & technical supplements, architecture, design, and implementation patterns, as well as help on navigating these patterns to help you identify the most appropriate patterns to consider for your project.
