Web Service Security in Business to Business (B2B) Applications using XML

Abstract

The Business-to-Business (B2B) e-commerce sector is poised for rapid expansion. Essential to the transformation of the B2B System is the gathering of security needs for protection, privacy, and reliability, which implies precise and Data security ready-to-go concepts for online company activities. Web Services are helpful because they provide easily available network services. Security was the major concern for B2B applications. As interest in cloud computing has grown, security concerns have been addressed and standardized. We demonstrate the fundamental characteristics and security of B2B application systems with the use of XML technology. Conventionally, a Comparison of two points currently in the XML security notion was led due to the enhancement of XML security along with the distinguished research outlines. As a starting point, XML Security refers to a collection of security techniques, such as digital signature and encryption that are strongly coupled via XML to preserve the primary qualities of the semi-structured data format of XML so long as basic security skills are provided. This paper will be investigating the Encryption from W3C and the specification of XML Signature along with its .NET implementation and a case study was carried out.
