XML Web Services provide a flexible API for building distributed systems as a collection of endpoints that can send and receive SOAP messages. These systems are secured using message-based cryptographic mechanisms defined in a series of specifications developed by Microsoft, IBM, and others. Such home-grown security protocols often go wrong; they are prone to a well-known class of attacks, formalized by Dolev and Yao, where an attacker can intercept, modify, and replay messages. The vulnerability is only increased by the flexible message formats and complex trust configurations allowed by the standards. Our goal is to verify the security of families of protocol configurations, such as those deployed for Microsoft’s WSE and Indigo web services implementations.

This tutorial shows how to create a bone diagram. A bone diagram represents relations between endpoints and surface interaction. A bone is transformed by a force field, and the skin transforms with the bone according to its settings. It can be usefull for creating diagrams that interact with for example a ground plane or planes that are transformed into a design. It covers the basics of fields kinetics and skin.
