Efficient Security Implementations in eGovernment Workflows: a Practical Application

Abstract:
Cross-domain, electronic business processes with eGovernment webservices involved are highly sensitive in terms of security. Existing technologies for electronic business processes do not offer satisfying methods for the efficient implementation of security requirements. The existence of lots of different standards in the field of webservice security makes it difficult for software developers to incorporate security requirements into their service landscape. With a new approach to minimize the risk of security vulnerabilities in highly sensitive business processes and to enable a faster deployment, this paper presents a research project in which model-driven architecture paradigms are applied to the implementation of IT security requirements in a practical eGovernment usecase.
