Securing Web Services

One of the biggest concerns about Web Services has been its lack of security. In response to this, Microsoft has released Web Service Enhancements 1.0 for .NET (WSE). This update includes support for the latest Web protocols such as WS-Security, WS-Routing, DIME, and WS Attachments.
