Web Services Enhancements is an program package for Windows which provides you with a set of classes that implement web service specifications in areas such as security, reliable messaging, and sending attachments. Web services serve as business logic components which offer functionality via the Internet using standard network protocols like HTTP and communicate through SOAP or REST messages.

General notes

The software distribution simplifies the development and deployment of web services. This means you are able to apply security policies to projects on the NET Framework 2.0. Thanks to WSE, the communication between services may be signed and encrypted using Kerberos tickets, X.509 certificates and other custom binary and XML-based security tokens. In addition username and password credentials can be used for authentication purposes.

Send binary data

Besides providing easier security, the program package gives you the ability to send large amounts of binary data via the W3C SOAP Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism specification. MTOM interacts with WS-Security, reduces the size of messages being transmitted ensuring low bandwidth scenarios, and integrates seamlessly existing web projects.
