Extendable and Adaptive Message-Level Security Enforcement Framework

The work presented in this paper describes a framework for message level enforcement of among others security, QoS and reliability policies. Particular emphasis has been placed on dynamic "just in time" formation of the enforcement action chains based on the context of an individual message and configuration options of the actual framework. The enforcement framework itself can be extended with additional enforcement options as well as can be configured to utilize functional capabilities of the external services. Multiple deployment options are also considered and presented in this paper.
