Remarks

WSE 3.0 introduces a scenario-based methodology to secure communication to and from a Web service. This is in contrast with existing network topology-based security methods. That is, instead of piecing security together for an application using multiple security operations, WSE allows you to apply security using a prepackaged set of security operations, known as security assertions. For common scenarios, WSE provides a set of these security assertions that are called turnkey security assertions.

A turnkey security assertion can be used with or without a policy file. To use the mutualCertificate10Security turnkey assertion without a policy file, use the MutualCertificate10Assertion class and the process specified in the How to: Secure a Web Service Without Using a Policy File topic. To use the mutualCertificate10Security turnkey assertion with a policy file, use the <mutualCertificate10Security> Element with the process specified in the How to: Secure a Web Service Using a Policy File topic.

The mutualCertificate11Security turnkey security assertion is similar to this policy assertion, except it is intended to be used with WS-Security 1.1 and the security tokens that are used to digitally sign and encrypt SOAP messages are different than the security tokens used by the mutualCertificate10Security turnkey assertion. For more information about the mutualCertificate11Security turnkey security assertion, see <mutualCertificate11Security> Element.
