Abstract :Web Services become more and more popular, not only inside closed intranets but also for inter-enterprise communications, few efforts have been made so far to secure a Web Service's availability. Existing security standards like e.g. WS-Security only address message integrity and confidentiality, and user authentication and authorization. This paper presents a system for protecting Web Services from Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. DoS attacks often rely on long messages that engage a server in resource-consuming computations. Therefore, a suitable means to prevent such kinds of attacks is the full validation of messages by an application level gateway before forwarding them to the server. This show how messages can automatically be derived from formal Web Service descriptions (written in the Web Service Description Language).
