A Framework for Protecting Web Sevices with IPsec

This paper proposes a WSDL extension for describing IPsec policies for protecting Web Services communications. By using the proposed extension, a Web Service (server) informs to its clients, along with the offered service descriptions, a set of IPsec policies that must be used in order to have access to its services. The proposed extension is based on the IETF policy model for describing IPsec policies. Besides the model, the paper presents an approach for transforming the IPsec policies into configuration commands through XSL transformations.
