Abstract

The growing popularity of standards related to Web services, Web services security and workflows boosted the implementation of powerful infrastructures supporting interoperability for inter-organizational workflows. Nevertheless, the realization of such workflows is a very complex task, in many aspects still bound to low-level technical knowledge and error-prone. We provide a framework for the realization and the management of security-critical workflows based on the paradigm of Model Driven Security. The framework complies with a hierarchical stack of Web services specifications and related technologies. In this paper, we introduce a UML based approach for the modeling of security-critical inter-organizational workflows and map it to the Web Services Choreography Description Language. Our approach is based on a set of security patterns, which are integrated into UML class and activity diagrams. A tool translates the models into executable artifacts configuring a reference architecture based on Web services.
