CSCI 5710G - Services Computing Security

This course covers the security-related technologies in services computing. Topics covered include the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) and a portfolio of related security standards such as XML Signature, XML Encryption, XML Key Management, WS-Security and Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML), the Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P) and Web X.0, in response to the growing need for a platform independent language for supporting interoperable information in services computing infrastructure. The course provides a services computing context to these more technical issues. Strategy and policy topics on how to find the right balance between security and usability are addressed as well as the maintenance of a secure infrastructure.
