WS-Security: Microsoft, Sun work behind the scenes
eWeek | at | by Mike
The passage of the WS-Security specification by the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) could signal opportunities for further interoperability between Microsoft Corp. and Sun Microsystems Inc., at least as far as Web services are concerned.
John Shewchuk, a Microsoft architect, told eWEEK in an interview that Microsoft's work with Sun engineers on the WS-Security spec could indicate possible future interoperability between the two companies, as established in last week's landmark agreement between the two former foes to work together.
