February 21st 2006
The WS-Security 1.1 document set that was submitted for public review
towards the end of last year
has now been approved as a formal OASIS standard. Links to those documents can
be found below in the Technical Work Produced by the Committee section.
Overview
The purpose of the OASIS WSS TC is to continue work on the Web Services security foundations as described in the WS-Security specification, which was written within the context of the Web Services Security Roadmap as published in April 2002. The work of the WSS TC will form the necessary technical foundation for higher-level security services which are to be defined in other specifications.

Related schema files

these documents are errata to the WS-Security 1.0 OASIS Standard documents but are not themselves documents that
