Sun Microsystems' Eve Maler, chair of the Security Work Plan Working Group of WS-I (Web Services Interoperability Organization), is a leading mover and shaker in the world of Web services security. She co-founded, formerly chaired, and is currently coordinating editor of the SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) committee, which brought together divergent XML-based security efforts in an effort to develop a common standard.
A leading XML architect, she currently tracks and coordinates Sun's interaction with XML/Web services security standards. We met with her recently for an update on the development of Web services security.
Q - How long is it likely to take to establish viable Web services security standards?
A - It's best not to think in black and white terms. There are specifications appearing on the scene that attempt to secure different facets of Web services. As each specification becomes standardized and viable over time, the operation of Web services will be better protected. And the parts that are not standardized yet will require a lot of non-interoperable back and forth, as they do now. For example, there's a lot of point-to-point negotiation required when offering a real service on the open Internet -- which is itself rare these days.
