A security assertion can be used with or without a policy file. To use the requireActionHeader assertion without a policy file, use the RequireActionHeaderAssertion class and the process specified in the How to: Secure a Web Service Without Using a Policy File topic. To use the requireActionHeader assertion with a policy file, use the <requireActionHeader Element> with the process specified in the How to: Secure a Web Service Using a Policy File topic.
