Web services (WS) are commonly provided by software components accessed through remote procedure calls. One of the major problems encountered during the access process to any WS is their security in terms of, for instance, execution and exchanged data. Several solutions and proposals have been made to solve this problem mainly by OASIS. Despite their contributions, current solutions and proposals do not completely solve the security problem inherent to WS. In fact, they focused only on the definition of the security rules at the implementation level and neglected the design level of WS, which can induce important added values. In this paper, we outline how the agent based design approach can be exploited to provide for safe WS both at the design and implementation levels. More specifically, we show how volatile, mobile agents can guarantee secure WS through their autonomy, intelligence and mobility. In addition, we illustrate how various security solutions can be integrated in this design approach.
