Zusammenfassung:

Many Grid-based applications require data transfer and staging services  in order to deliver input data to and output data from compute services. Security mechanisms play a central role in such services, especially when they are deployed in sensitive areas like e-health or across domain boundaries. In medical treatment or research scenarios, for example, in which medical images are transferred to simulation services, the confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of the image data as well as the returned simulation results have to be ensured.

Due to the fact that Grids are more and more converging to Web service technologies and accompanying standards, the application of WS-Security and related specifications seems to be an obvious solution to provide such security mechanisms for data transfer services. A closer look at 
the available technologies for data transfer using SOAP reveals, however, that it is not as straightforward as expected. This presentation introduces the available technologies for data transfer using SOAP and discusses their properties with respect to applying digital signatures according to WS-Security.
