The ability to secure a web service is an essential part of a developer's armory. However, the developer must consider the complex and sometimes confusing topics of message confidentiality and integrity, as well as client authentication and authorization, against a wide range of potential adversaries.

In this talk, Dr. Colm Ó hÉigeartaigh will provide an overview of recent security advisories against a number of Apache projects that are used in web services, such as Apache Santuario and CXF.
