SOAP Toolkit FAQ - How do I secure my Soap Application?

Soap is essentially a Web application, so all the security fundamentals that apply to Web applications apply to Soap. We have covered a few of the most commonly misunderstood areas in this FAQ, but security is too broad a topic to be covered here. Here's an article on Soap Security written by our test lead: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/Dnsoap/html/Soapsecurity.asp?frame=true. The best resource I have found for setting up Web security is Michael Howard's book: Designing Secure Web-Based Applications for Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Press; ISBN: 0735609950.

ASPToday also has several good security articles, among them: Securing Windows 2000 IIS 5.0 applications.
