An intelligence information system based on service-oriented architecture: A survey of security issues

Abstract

Security is an important requirement for a service-oriented architecture (SOA), since SOA in principle considers services spread widely on different locations and diverse operational platforms. The main challenge for SOA security still drifts around ‘clouds’ and there is still a lack of suitable frameworks for security models based on consistent and convenient methods. In this paper, we propose security solutions for an Intelligence Information System completely based on SOA. Contemporary security architectures and security protocols are still evolving. SOA-based systems are characterized with differences in security implementation as encryption, access control, security monitoring, security management through disparate domains etc. Domains have services as endpoints in the information systems, which usually form composite services. The workflow which is established through composite services is extending on different endpoints in different domains.
