Securing web services

Hi there,

Another Web Service related question. Obviously, Google gives me enough
hints to find *many* documents on the topic (searching for "securing web
services"), but I am developing open-source soft and I'd like to secure
my web services to the maximum without forcing the user to use HTTPS/SSL
(the generation of buying of a certificate is not what our lambda users
can do).

Following the very nice table on page 32 of 
http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-95/SP800-95.pdf
using a combination of XML Encryption and XML Signature would provide a
cover for almost all security risks related to providing web services.

This article:
http://webservices.xml.com/pub/a/ws/2003/01/15/ends.html
also goes away from the SSL method and *talks* about XML-DSIG and
WS-Security, but that's out of PHP context.

Finally, the following article talks about NuSOAP and the SetCredentials
method, which is probably the closest I can get to secure web services
using existing PHP code.

Would anybody out here have gotten further and be able to tell me how
they did it?

Thanks,

Yannick
