Slides from PHP|Works 2006

The slides for my tutorial and talk can be found at:
Advanced XML and Web Services (with accompanying code)
XML Security

For the XML Security session, what people are probably most interested is the code used to implement WS-Security and possibly Infocards using PHP.

Security Library - Base XML Security library implementing XMLENC and XMLDSig functionality.
WS-Security library - WS-Security library for use with SOAP. Currently only implements client functionality and is missing the ability to encrypt SOAP data.
Example Usage of WS-Security - An example of interacting with the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) SOAP Service. Easily re-factored for use with other services requiring WS-Security.
Infocard Library - Base library for processing infocards.
Infocard demonstration - Demonstration of processing a submitted Infocard. The result is a SAML token along with a function to view submitted assertions. The form has NOT been updated to work with the recent namespace change, so modify the requiredClaims for use with IE7 RC1, Vista RC1 or .NET 3.0 RC1.

These libraries and examples contain unmaintained, yet useable code. They were developed only for testing while designing an API for C based code and most likely any extensions developed to perform the functionality will differ from the code provided here. There are many optimizations that can be made to provide better performance, so feel free to make any modifications you like. I may provide updates in the way of bug fixes if needed and might extend them a bit more if so inspired (such as adding encryption to the soap client or possibly handling of ws-security on the server side), but if anyone wants to take the code and run with it, please let me know as I would gladly provide help (time permitting).

I have been asked about licensing for the code. I have no licensing. Feel free to do whatever you like with the code, including but not limited to modifying or using it for whatever purpose you may need. I am just posting this code to the wild and am not planning on maintaining or doing proper documentation for the code, though I will be writing a bit on the usage of the code in the near future (hopefully over the weekend).

This is simply awesome. Thanks rob, for working with me on this. This is going to create a wave for PHP developers and all WS-Security services.

It's great that you released this code. I have a pressing need, and I found out about the conference after it was too late to attend.

Thanks everyone and hope you find it useful.

Kim,

I appreciate the blurb on your site (http://www.identityblog.com/?p=598). Havent seen the bear in a few weeks, but now have a big fat racoon who has taken his place the past few nights :-)

Thanks again, Rob, for writing this and making it available. You can see what I've done with it here: http://blogs.sun.com/superpat/entry/switching_on_the_lightbulb
