After compared transport level with message level security, the limitation of transport level security became clearly. And then on the basis of the analysis message level security, especially WS-Security, XML security protocol was adopted to guarantee message level security. Because WS-Security is a new protocol jointly developed by Microsoft and IBM among these XML security protocols, and a security-token mechanism of WS-Security mechanism was improved, added a table with security-token types. And a new model consisting of multiple security-token is put forward to guarantee the security of message transmission.展开更多
