>The growth of Web Services, and in particular electronic commerce 
>activities based on them, is quickly being followed by work on Web 
>Services security protocols.  While core XML security standards like 
>XMLDSIG, XMLENC and WS-Security have been completed, they only provide 
>the basic building blocks of authentication, integrity protection and 
>confidentiality for Web Services.  Additional Web Services standards 
>and protocols are required to provide higher-order operations such as 
>trust management, delegation, and federation.  At the same time, the 
>sharp rise in "phishing" attacks and other forms of on-line fraud 
>simply confirms that all our work on security protocols is for naught 
>if we cannot make it both possible and easy for the average user to 
>discover when a security property has failed during a transaction.  
>This workshop aims to explore these areas as well as other current and 
>future security and privacy challenges for Web Services applications and
e-commerce.
