SOAP-DSIG is used to satisfy the message authentication
requirement. It is important to note that you can use SOAP-
DSIG and SSL simultaneously by exchanging
the above HTTP messages over SSL.
Technology Satisfied security requirements
SSL Confidentiality, sender/recipient authentication, and
message authentication by MAC
SOAP-DSIG Message authentication by digital signature and
MAC
SSL provides confidentiality and sender/recipient
authentication. SSL also has functionality for adding MACs
to transmitted messages. On the other hand,
SOAP-DSIG can be used to add not only MACs but also digital
signatures to transmitted messages, but it is not
sufficient for sender/recipient authentication
because it is vulnerable to attacks such as replay attacks.
Therefore, SOAP-DSIG and SSL complement the functionalities
that the other system lacks.
Remember that in order to satisfy the requirement
of non-repudiation, at a minimum you need to simultaneously
guarantee both message authentication by using a
digital signature and sender authentication.
Therefore, using SOAP-DSIG and SSL (with client
authentication) simultaneously is the first step towards
realizing non- repudiation. Specifically, you use
SOAP-DSIG for message authentication by using a digital
signature and SSL client/server authentication for
sender/recipient authentication.
