Use this page to specify how message security policies are applied to requests and enforced on responses. Assertions for Web Services Security (WS-Security) versions are already generated based on assertions in the policy set. If the policy set includes a Web Services Security Version 1.1 assertion, then Web Services Security Version 1.1 itself is asserted.
Specifies whether message level protection (using digital signatures and encryption) is required.
Specifies whether the signature confirmation is required. Select this box to require signature confirmation.
Specifies whether to use symmetric tokens. Select this radio button to use symmetric tokens. You can then configure symmetric tokens using the Symmetric signature and encryption policies link. Click this link to access the Symmetric Signature and Encryption Policies panel where you can create the trust context in which to use symmetric tokens. Using the same token for signing and validating messages and encrypting and decrypting messages provides better performance than can be achieved with asymmetric tokens. Symmetric tokens should be used within a trust context.
Specifies whether to use asymmetric tokens. Select this button to use asymmetric tokens. You can then configure asymmetric tokens using the Asymmetric signature and encryption policies link. Click this link to access the Asymmetric Signature and Encryption Policies panel where you can create the trust context (message integrity and confidentiality) in which to use asymmetric tokens. You can do this by specifying which token type to use for the initiator and recipient signature as well as the initiator and recipient encryption.
Specifies whether to use a time stamp in the header. Select this check box to include a time stamp in the header. You can then specify where in the header to place the time stamp by using the Security header layout: radio buttons.
Specifies the layout rules for the security header.
