Webservices and Security
Posted: Mon Nov 13, 2006 4:18 am
Hi Guys,
I did a search but I don't think this has been touched on yet.
Does anybody have any experience in securing web services?
I have two applications (one already exists) in mind that need to exchange data. I can do this using SOAP (PHP4 w/ NuSOAP) however the web service running on the one application should only accept data/calls from certain places.
Does anybody know how to implement some simple security? The data itself doesn't need to be encrypted, I just need to restrict who (or what) can use the webservice.
