Tuning Web
Services Security
When using Web Services Security
for message-level protection
of SOAP message in WebSphere® Application
Server, the choice of configuration options can affect the performance
of the application.
Tuning Web Services Security for Version 9.0 applications
The Java™ Cryptography Extension (JCE) is integrated into the software development kit (SDK) Version 1.4.x and later. This is no longer an optional package. However, the default JCE jurisdiction policy file shipped with the SDK enables you to use cryptography to enforce this default policy. In addition, you can modify the web services security configuration options to achieve the best performance for web services security protected applications.
Tuning Web Services Security for Version 5.x applications
The Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) policy is integrated into the IBM® Software Development Kit (SDK) Version 1.4.x and is no longer an optional package. However, due to export and import regulations, the default JCE jurisdiction policy file shipped with the SDK enables you to use strong, but limited, cryptography only.
