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.
