Web services are key components in the implementation of Service Oriented Architectures (SOA), which must satisfy proper security requirements in order to be able to support critical business processes. Research works show that a large number of web services are deployed with significant security flaws, ranging from code vulnerabilities to the incorrect use of security standards and protocols. This chapter discusses state of the art techniques and tools for the deployment of secure web services, including standards and protocols for the deployment of secure services, and security assessment approaches. The chapter also discusses how relevant security aspects can be correlated into practical engineering approaches.
