Basic Encryption for Web Services

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I am using the PHP5 SOAP extension for communication between two PHP 
endpoints.

Right now I am trying to figure out a way to encrypt the SOAP messages to 
guarantee some basic confidentiality. The method used does not have to 
comply to any of the standard security frameworks, just have to be 
transparent to the rest of the php system.

I've already established a way to encrypt and decrypt the messages (using 
mcrypt) and distributing public keys (using gnupg). Next thing is to 
actually encrypt and decrypt the messages. I am thinking along the lines of 
intercepting the soap requests and responses (maybe using __doRequest?) and 
using the DOM (or SimpleXML?)to cipher the message but wondering about an 
easier way to implement confidentiality.

Has anybody done something like this already? Any comments on my idea would 
also be really appreciated.
