1	XKMS in the Evolving .NET World July 19, 2001 Blair Dillaway Software Architect Microsoft Corp.
2	.NET Web Services Vision
3	Clear Advantages over Past Approaches
4	.NET Promotes Flexibility Same approach works for radically different architectures Client-Server Peer-to-peer Multi-tier Dynamic adaptation Re-direct amongst services with same ‘contract’ Standard publication and discovery
5	Developer Implications Programming Model One paradigm Uniform messaging model Rich tools support rapidly emerging Single supporting infrastructure to deploy
6	The XKMS Role .NET apps require security Internet scale, dynamic relationships Privacy, potentially high value transactions PK-based security will play a significant role Strength of mechanism Dynamic relationships XKMS defines required key-based trust services Registration, Discovery, Validation It’s a Web Service – same tools, application model, deployment Recognizes off-loading trust evaluation may be critical for many applications and/or classes of devices
7	Contextual Trust Mgt A natural extension to XKMS 1.1 that can benefit many applications Leverages Web Services infrastructure Exchange richer types of data Relationship is fluid, Trust Service and Relying party may be peers Support for N-party decision making What’s needed Support Registration, and updates, of valid key ‘contexts’ Ability to communicate context with validation requests Return of qualified validation, possibly from multiple trust agents Msg level security: XKMS defined vs. XML-P defined
