The Web Services portion of GT 4.2.0 uses SOAP over HTTP for communicating messages. C WS A&A implements the WS-Security standard and the WS-SecureConversation specification to provide message protection for SOAP messages. Features include:
- authentication of the sender
- encryption of the message
- integrity protection of the message
- replay attack protection
C WS A&A provide a secure channel by using HTTP over SSL/TLS (HTTPS) for transporting the messages. This security mechanism supports all of the security features provided by SSL/TLS with the addition of support for X.509 Proxy Certificates.
