Overview of WSE
Web Services Enhancements for Microsoft .NET (WSE) is a .NET class library for building Web services using the latest Web services protocols, including WS-Security, WS-SecureConversation, WS-Trust, and WS-Addressing. WSE allows you to add these capabilities at design time using code or at deployment time through the use of a policy file.
The topics in this section describe the concepts and techniques that allow you to build Web services using the latest Web services protocols.
