Hardware security vendor and cryptographic acceleration specialist nCipher
Plc has put together a series of new partnerships and products in a bid to
ease the problems of deploying security to XML applications and web
services.

The difficulties of managing and protecting authentication and
authorization processes using cryptography and digital signatures is seen
as a barrier to widespread adoption of XML applications and web services.

Cambridge, UK-based nCipher has announced XML-ready versions of its nShield
and nForce cryptographic key management products, and said it will be
working with a trio of XML security partners to identify "key points of
risk in delivering web services."

Partnership deals have been signed with the Salt Lake City, Utah-based
secure appliances vendor Forum Systems Inc, the Belmont, California-based
firewall vendor Reactivity, and Westbridge Technology Inc, a supplier of an
XML Message Server system based in Mountain View, California.
