Security Enhancement at Lower Layers for SOA Reference Architecture

Abstract

SOA is widely accepted for designing the projects because it provides flexible and extensible architecture to solve the business problem effectively. In fact, SOA attracts the consumer because of its important features like reusability, modularity, composability, encapsulation and interoperability but security is always a concern for this architecture. Security implementation at a granular level for service-oriented architecture is an important concern. Service-oriented architecture is based on the distributed architecture wherein different services are the part of the different domain which is used to create an application. This causes security issue when services are composed for the creation of an application. Current security implementation at SOA based projects don’t provide security at lower levels, however higher level is secured. Proposed Model enhances the security and reliability at lower levels of SOA using latest security techniques which also helps in maintaining the SLA after the security implementation.
