Remarks

Most applications are secured based on the network topology in which the Web service resides. WSE 3.0 introduces a scenario-based methodology for secure communication to and from a Web service. 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, which are 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 mutualCertificate11Security 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 mutualCertificate11Security turnkey assertion with a policy file, use the <mutualCertificate11Security> Element with the process specified in the How to: Secure a Web Service Using a Policy File topic.

The mutualCertificate10Security turnkey security assertion is similar to this policy assertion, except it is intended to be used with WS-Security 1.0 and the security tokens that are used to digitally sign and encrypt SOAP messages are different. For more information about the mutualCertificate10Security turnkey security assertion, see <mutualCertificate10Security> Element.
