5 1 Introduction The CORISECIO Open XML Gateway provides companies the possibility to cost-effectively and simply protect their Web Services. Nowadays, more and more applications communicate via the internet and local networks because of the increased spreading of architectures like SOA and Cloud Computing. Because of the network-based approach applications and data are increasingly exposed to business critical threats. This e.g. includes, besides various security vulnerabilities, themes like data theft, XML-DOS or Multi-Layer attacks. These weak points need to be protected efficiently. CORISECIO Open XML Gateway provides the following features: Policy-based SOAP messages processing Filtering, authentication and authorization for Web Services The gateway may be used as stand-alone component Enables use of cryptography for Web Services 5

6 2 System requirements The statements regarding processor, working memory and hard disk storage may only be seen as values for orientation as the requirement for system resources mainly depends on the Open XML Gateway use. Reliable statements are only available by testing in your system environment. Processor Working storage Free hard disk storage Intel Pentium IV 2,4 GHz or more 1024 MB or more 10 GB or more (amongst others for Logging) Operating system CentOS 6.0 Software Java Software Development Kit 1.6 Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Apache Tomcat
