DerivedKeyToken Class

  • Article

Represents a security token whose key is cryptographically derived from the key of another security token.

Namespace: Microsoft.Web.Services3.Security.Tokens
Assembly: Microsoft.Web.Services3 (in microsoft.web.services3.dll)

Usage

'Usage
Dim parent As IDerivableToken
Dim derivedKeyToken1 As New DerivedKeyToken(parent)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Class DerivedKeyToken
    Inherits SecurityToken
    Implements IDerivableToken, IMutableSecurityToken

public class DerivedKeyToken : SecurityToken, IDerivableToken, IMutableSecurityToken

public ref class DerivedKeyToken : SecurityToken, IDerivableToken, IMutableSecurityToken

public class DerivedKeyToken extends SecurityToken implements IDerivableToken, IMutableSecurityToken

public class DerivedKeyToken extends SecurityToken implements IDerivableToken, , IMutableSecurityToken

Remarks

Using a DerivedKeyToken can help secure a series of SOAP messages by allowing you to encrypt or sign each SOAP message using a different key--a key that is cryptographically derived from the original key. Signing and/or encrypting the SOAP messages using different keys can help prevent a ciphertext-only attack, which attempts to recover the original key from a series of encrypted SOAP messages.

To create a DerivedKeyToken , pass a security token that supports security token derivation, such as a KerberosToken or SecurityContextToken , to the DerivedKeyToken constructor. Add the DerivedKeyToken instance and the parent security token to the Tokens collection of the SoapContext for the SOAP message. If the parent security token was derived from a security token, then that grandparent security token must be added to the Tokens collection as well. To then sign and or encrypt the SOAP message using the DerivedKeyToken , create a new instance of the EncryptedData or MessageSignature class, passing in the instance of DerivedKeyToken to the constructor as you would for any other security token type.
