Abstract

Organizations want to make their information systems more agile so they can better answer the challenge of continuous adaptation to business requirements. Service architectures and Web Services are a proposal to structure systems with greater flexibility, reuse and interoperability. However, the important security standards and implementations have yet to be sufficiently evaluated in practical uses. This thesis evaluates Web Services Security with a complex and valuable business case study: real estate transactions. A prototype evidenced several insufficiencies in the available implementations. The most relevant contribution of this thesis is the up-to-date and complete description of Web Services technology, with an insightful assessment of security standards and implementations.
