A Semantic Security Architecture for Web Services

—The shift from mere service-oriented architectures (SOA) to semantically enriched approaches is especially being forced in multi-domain environments that the public sector in the European Union is an example for. The security aspect is lagging behind its possibilities, and new access control approaches native to the semantic environment need to be applied. Based on architectural research work conducted within the EU-funded research project Access-eGov, we outline our implementation of a semantic security architecture for web services by using industry-standard technologies and combining them with semantic enhancements.
