Introduced audience to WSS 1.0 and WSS 1.1 standards, showed some sample WS security policies (XML, WSS 1.1). Also, his favorite phrase was: “All this is very complicated”.

Actual quote: “They made things really complicated, you know… because of security…”

keywords: WSS, WS-Policy, WS security policy, signed endorsed encrypted supporting tokens

Tool: MS Indigo Security Policy Configuration Editor

Conclusion: Beginning… ok, intermediate workshop, masked as ‘advanced’. Anyway, I got introduced to the standards, which is always useful.

Worth working with? Only if I paid for doing this. My accent meets his accent and… BOOM! :)
