Architecture and Security for EAI and SOA
* Create a distributed system consists of diverse, discrete software agents that work
together to perform the required tasks.
* Concepts - Utilize Message Oriented Model, Service Oriented Model (SOM), Policy Model
and Resource Oriented Model.
* Technology SOA knowledge (XML, SOAP and WSDL):
1. Logical view: Is an abstracted, logical view of actual programs, databases, business
processes, etc., defined in terms of what it does, typically carrying out a business-level
operation.
2. Message orientation: Defined in terms of the messages exchanged between provider
agents and requester agents, and not the properties of the agents themselves. The internal
structure of an agent, including features such as its implementation language, process
structure and even database structure.
3. Description orientation: A service is described by machine-processable meta data. The
semantics of a service should be documented, either directly or indirectly, by its
description.
4. Granularity: Services tend to use a small number of operations with relatively large
and complex messages.
5. Network orientation: Services tend to be oriented toward use over a network.
6. Platform neutral: Messages are sent in a platform-neutral, standardized format
delivered through the interfaces. XML is the most obvious format that meets this
constraint.
* Web Services Security (WSSE)
1. to secure Web services, a range of XML-based security mechanisms are needed to solve
problems related to authentication, role-based access control, distributed security policy
enforcement, message layer security that accommodate the presence of intermediaries.
2. Network level security mechanisms such as Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS), Virtual
Private Networks (VPNs), IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) and Secure Multipurpose
Internet Mail Exchange (S/MIME) are point-to-point technologies. Threats include - Message
Alteration, Confidentiality, Man-in-the-middle, Spoofing, Denial of Service, Replay
Attacks.
