This is the first of a four part series of articles that will examine issues related to web services security. The goal is to explain and demonstrate the use of emerging XML-based security standards from W3C and OASIS. The series will help developers understand:

* how the different standards fulfill the different security requirements;
* how the different security standards are related to each other; and
* how they coordinate to form modules of the entire web services security
