Firstly it will present the current stage of collaborative system security, and then it will be shown how to integrate web services into collaborative platforms. The Threat Modeling methodology is proposed by Microsoft and is a part of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDL). It enables application development team to identify the security threat to a system, evaluate and document those threats and vulnerabilities, determine the risks from those threats, and establish appropriate mitigations. This paper is focused on the web services component. At the end of the paper it will be described the risk mitigation solutions for this collaborative system.

The main advantages of web services are related to the flexibility and versatility: they support a variety of architectures and are independent of platforms and models. Also, they can expose valuable data, applications and systems of organizations to a variety of external threats. Securing web services is one of the most important topics related to them. This paper describes the core web services specifications, the top threats facing web services and the security fundamentals. At the end of the paper is presented a custom authentication and authorization model (brokered authentication) to ensure a robust protection, a model that shows how to authenticate and authorize callers to perform operations and how to access resources. This model uses the following frameworks/standards: Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) to apply the principles of claims-based identity, Wind...
