Web Services are the way of machine to machine communication over the network to perform specific operation e.g. transaction, information exchange, sale service etc. So web service is having protocols and standards that are used to exchange data between applications or systems. Web Services use SOAP protocol to exchange data between systems. Web services work on standards mainly WSDL, XML and UDDI. Security of standards and protocols is essential. Web Services are widely involved in cloud computing and distributed system now days. So leveraging interoperable standards to achieve security in cloud and distributed system is challenge.
