“…The XML statements are then used in the processes of www.ijacsa.thesai.org authentication and authorization. Still other works investigate the integration of security assertion with client side code, with protection provided by analyzing user's requests [17]. Such XML-based languages are particularly suitable to convey requirements related to authorization and privacy for webbased systems [28].…”

Abstract-Patients taking medical treatment in distinct healthcare institutions have their information deeply fragmented between very different locations. All this information ---probably with different formats ---may be used or exchanged to deliver professional healthcare services. As the exchange of information/ interoperability is a key requirement for the success of healthcare process, various predefined e-health standards have been developed. Such standards are designed to facilitate information interoperability in common formats. Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) is a newly open healthcare data standard that aims to providing electronic healthcare interoperability. FHIR was coined in 2014 to address limitations caused by the ad-hoc implementation and the distributed nature of modern medical care information systems. Patient's data or resources are structured and standard in FHIR through a highly readable format such as XML or JSON. However, despite the unique features of FHIR, it is not a security protocol, nor does it provide any security-related functionality. In this paper, we propose a security specification model (SecFHIR) to support the development of intuitive policy schemes that are mapping directly to the healthcare environment. The formal semantics for SecFHIR are based on the well-established typing and the independent platform properties of XML. Specifically, patients' data are modeled in FHIR using XML documents. In our model, we assume that these XML resources are defined by a set of schemes. Since XML Schema is a well-formed XML document, the permission specification can be easily integrated to the schema itself, then the specified permissions are applied to instance objects without any change. In other words, our security model (SecFHIR) defines permissions on XML schemes level, which implicitly specify the permissions on XML resources. Using these schemes, SecFHIR can combine them to support complex constraints over XML resources. This will result in reusable permissions, which efficiently simplify the security administration and achieve finegrained access control. We also discuss the core elements of the proposed model, as well as the integration with the FHIR framework.

“…In addition, the scale of the Internet created a gap in the market place for a middleware solution that would provide a worldwide interoperable distributed computing solution. The widespread deployment of firewall-friendly HTTP, coupled with the simple, interoperable XML format heralded the invention of Web Services [133].…”

“…• The Web Services standards of SOAP, WSDL and UDDI enabled "automatic and dynamic interoperability between systems" [133], However, these specifications are not considered sufficient given the challenges of the enterprise, especially in the area of security and reliability [113]. WS-Security relates to a family of specifications used to secure Web Services messages [146]:…”

This paper examines the use of distributed computing based on web services with application to floating license management. The main goal is to automate the processes pertaining to the management activities and ensure at the same time that the security and flexibility requirements are met. We present the challenges posed by these requirements, propose a design and some implementation aspects using the latest .NET development platform.
