Abstract: By presenting a protection architecture for ASP.NET Web services, this paper demonstrates the feasibility of creating middleware mechanisms in the form of composable, flexible, and extensible building blocks. Like Lego™ constructor parts, such blocks enable the reduction of the effort of constructing, extending, and adjusting the application properties and middleware services in response to requirements or environment changes.
