Abstract

This paper proposes an authorization architecture for Web services. It describes the architectural framework, the administration and runtime aspects of our architecture and its components for secure authorization of Web services as well as the support for the management of authorization information. The paper also describes authorization algorithms required to authorize a Web service client. The architecture is currently being implemented within the .NET framework.
