In this paper we present a SOAP extension for protecting the privacy of users of a Web Service. This extension allows a user to prove to a remote SOAP server to be memberof a trusted group without revealing his/her identity.Our extension has been designed as to ensure interoperability among SOAP applications written in different programming languages. We developed also some implementations of our extension using different programming languages.Moreover, we conducted an extensive experimentation of our implementation to prove its feasibility in a real-worldcontext. In sums, our work suggest that privacy canbe added to Web Services with very little impact on the application developer and without compromising the performanceof Web Services.

Abstract
In this paper we present a SOAP extension for protecting the privacy of users of a Web Service. This extension allows a user to prove to a remote SOAP server to be memberof a trusted group without revealing his/her identity.Our extension has been designed as to ensure interoperability among SOAP applications written in different programming languages. We developed also some implementations of our extension using different programming languages.Moreover, we conducted an extensive experimentation of our implementation to prove its feasibility in a real-worldcontext. In sums, our work suggest that privacy canbe added to Web Services with very little impact on the application developer and without compromising the performanceof Web Services.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
