Multinett II : SOA and XML security experiments with Cooperative ESM Operations (CESMO)

This report describes the activities and experiments performed within FFI project P1086 – “Secure Pervasive SOA” during Multinett II. Multinett II is the largest joint experiment activity ever carried out in Norway. The basic concept of Multinett II is to connect different communication systems from all the military services into one common network. The goal was to experiment with technology that can contribute to further development of network based defense. From FFI, the participation was coordinated by the FFI project P1080 - a project that focuses on cooperative ESM-operations. For P1086, collaborating with P1080 was seen as a good opportunity to test Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) principles and related end-to-end security solutions in an operational environment, and to demonstrate possibilities for operational personnel. This report focuses on our experiments using Web Services to realize SOA.
