Abstract:
The Future Internet is moving from today's static services to an environment in which service consumers will transparently mix and match service components depending on service availability, quality, price and security attributes. This fact poses some challenges in terms of security and trustworthiness that should be guaranteed to the final users. In this paper, we present a platform for secure service design and composition based on the Activiti open-source workflow engine and Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) extensions for expressing security needs over service specifications. The platform, developed in the realm of the Aniketos FP7 funded project, offers the capability to service designers and service providers to establish and maintain trustworthiness and secure behavior in today's constantly changing service environments. In order to demonstrate the validity of this approach, the use of the platform is shown in a real application scenario in which a security requirement on trustworthiness specified by design needs to be monitored and guaranteed during service execution.
