ABSTRACT
A web service is a technique of communication over
the World Wide Web. It is a service that is always on as in
the concept of utility computing. Web Service can publish
its function or message to the rest of the world. It is
collected by combine of individual services to constitute
complex business processes. On the World Wide Web, the
number of web services provider increases, the more web
services exist having same functionality. Hence, the work
of web service discovery becomes difficult and
challengeable. The solution to this, the broker is to
implement for compose web services according to security
constraints and selecting the best web services to execute a
business process.

1. INTRODUCTION
A web service is software application to present
business services over the internet by exchange of
messages. [1][2] The basic Web services platform is XML
and HTTP. The HTTP protocol is the most used Internet
protocol. Web services platform elements:
SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)
UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery and
Integration)
WSDL (Web Services Description Language)
Web Service Level Agreement (WSLA) has been
provided for quality of web service. A web service is
described using a standard, formal XML notion, called its
service description. The web services-based applications
to be loosely coupled component-oriented, cross-
technology implementations. They can be used alone or
with other web services to carry out a complex
aggregation or a business transaction [2].
Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)
SOAP is an XML-based protocol to exchange
information over HTTP. In other word, SOAP is a
protocol for accessing a web service. SOAP is a W3C
standard. It is used for the communication and designed to
communicate via internet. It is a format of sending
messages and platform independent as well as language
independent. [3]
Web Service Description Language (WSDL)
WSDL is an XML-based language for locating and
describing Web services. WSDL is based on XML used to
describe Web services. WSDL is a W3C standard. [4]
Universal Description Discovery and
Integration (UDDI)
UDDI is a directory service where companies can
register and search for web services. It is platform
independent, Extensible Markup Language (XML)-based
registry by which businesses worldwide can list
themselves on the internet, and a mechanism to register
and locate web service applications. UDDI was originally
proposed as a core web service standard. UDDI is a
directory of web service interfaces described by WSDL. It
is communicate via SOAP messages and to provide access
of Web Services Description Language (WSDL)
documents describing the protocol bindings and message
formats required to interact with the web services listed in
its directory. [5]
It is also defines a data structure standard for
representing service description information in XML. An
important aspect of an IT services is the set of Quality-of-
Service (QoS) guarantees. This is commonly referred to as
a Service Level Agreement (SLA). [6]

The three rolls are service provider, service registry and
service requestor. The interactions involve the publish find
and bind operations. Together these roles and operations
act upon the web services. [2]
2. RELETED WORK
XML provides a different platforms and programming
languages and still express complex messages and
functions, such as Business Process Execution Language
for Web Services (BPEL4WS) [7], Web Services Business
Process Execution Language (WSBPEL) [8] and Business
Process Modeling Language (BPML), [9] XML languages
designed for the execution of business processes, such as
Business Process Execution Language for web services
(BPEL4WS). These languages have been proposed for
workflow specification. BPML supports advanced
semantics such as processes and complex compensated
transactions that are not addressed by BPEL4WS. The
languages such as BPML and BPEL4WS define a model
and a grammar to specify a business process behavior,
which is based on interactions between the process and its
web service. Each of the activities in a flow model must be
executed by an appropriate web service. In these
circumstances, selecting an appropriate web service for
each activity where the assignment process is called
matchmaking [10].
The DAML-S is a process model which is developed
separately from the BPEL4WS so that it different. But it
does not have a formal semantic even though it is widely
supported in industry. Other work has been done for web
service composition by AI planning techniques. And also
some other work i.e. METOR project [11] has been done
on QoS the parameter such as time, cost, reliability and
fidelity. But the project was focus on analyzing and
verifying a workflow rather than the constructing QoS.
Here, this entire scenario cant give the web service which
is concerned about the selecting best web service by
composition with security authentication methods and
QoS parameter.
Hence, propose the Broker for selecting best web
service by composition with securely and QoS.
3. PROPOSED RESEARCH WORK
A Web service is a software system designed to support
interoperable application-to-application interactions over
the Internet. Many web services published by provider
having same functionality. So that, web service discovery
to services becomes a challenge. [1]
If we are finding the web service on the internet it will
not return the composite web service on the basis of
specified security authentication methods and QoS
parameter of the requestor. Since, we think of the broker
as a middleware. The broker registers and edits values of
web service quality properties. The registry provides
facilities to search security and information of QoS of web
services. The below figure 2 shows the Broker architecture
for considering security and QoS parameter.
In figure 1, the request sends to the provider by using
broker. Since, the the broker will evaluate and composite
the best web service with security constraints and QoS
parameter. It means that, it will be executed
simultaneously until obtain the best web service.
The Broker has three important component i.e. security,
composition and selection. Each component having its
own functionality for the selection of best web service.
Security:
This component checks the security authentication of
every web services. Here, considering SAML
authentication under this, Basic Authentication,
Lightweight Third Party Authentication (LTPA), Digital
Signature Authentication and Identity Assertion
Authentication. It checks all the security and encrypts
values of web services which is available in database
against the requesters security constrains and QoS
parameter. If both are same then it takes for compatibility
with the corresponding QoS values. After composition
security analysis performs and removes the uncompleted
path between composition and security component.

Figure 1: Broker Structure for secure composition

Composition:
This component checks all the web services of different
service class (Service class means web services having
similar functionality) with other service class web
services. If it is compatible with other service class with
respect to security and encrypt parameter.
Selection:
After the security and composition, this component
plays an important role for selection of best web service. It
finds out the minimum and maximum values of QoS of
each web service from the different service classes, those
who has a complete path according to the security and
encryption values. The minimum and maximum values of
QoS will be calculated of each web services. That is web
service having minimum values of response time, cost,
availability and reliability and this is similar to the
maximum values of QoS. Response time and cost be in
decreasing order means having minimum value. And
reliability and availability has maximum values because it
is in increasing order. Since take the minimum/maximum
value among them. It can be calculated by using following
way and then it will be normalized.
The calculated QoS parameters of each web service
by function F(Sj) are summed. For decreasing quality
attributes, the calculated values are subtracted from 1
before summing.


Where, QoSMax and QoSMin is a maximum and
minimum values of the web service for the service class.
F(s) is summed function. In this way final selected web
service sent back to the requester.
Experimental Result: The broker, located between web
service client and provider, for facilitating construction of
a secure composition. It takes the requests from the
requestor by considering security constrains and QoS
parameter. The following figure represents the GUI of
Broker.
This broker application is developed in the Java by
using database which is created into the MySql. Here,
taking the three process plan 1. Travel process plan 2. E
Shopping and 3. Insurance process plan for the Broker,
when we execute this it extract the values of QoS and
specified encrypt parameter as well as security
authentication methods.

Screenshot 1: Main window of Broker

Now, If we are request to requestor for secure web
service composition, We can select the web service from
the service class1, service class2 and service class3 then
select the security constraints and specified QoS parameter
i.e. response time, cost, availability and reliability.
The requestor wants a web service containing SAML
authentication and QoS values such as the response time,
cost, availability and reliability. Here we are executing
process plans for composite the web services of different
service classes with the security constraint and QoS
values. Here selecting different web services from service
class then select the security authentication and also take
the QoS values. Now execute this, the Broker return a
secure web service composition result.
Consider, in this travel process plan, first service class
is plane second is hotel and third is taxi. If user wants a
secure composite travel plane with QoS parameter, then
selecting service candidate from service class plane i. e. S1
as, http://localhost/WS/plane/1, plane/2, plane/3, plane/4,
plane/5, plane/6, plane/7, plane/8 and plane/9. Select
http://localhost/WS/hotel/5, hotel/7, hotel/8, hotel/11,
hotel/13, hotel/15 from hotel i.e. S2 as well as from taxi
i.e. S3, http://localhost/WS/taxi/1, taxi/2, taxi/3, taxi/4,
taxi/5, taxi/10. Next to select security authentication
methods such as Digital Signature Authentication, Basic
Authentication & Identity Assertion Authentication and
QoS parameter of corresponding web services. Then
execute it, the window will be appear as.
Screenshot 2: Selecting web service
Now, execute it, It check the Security Compatibility
through the Service classes S1 - S2 - S3. It means that we
are taking Security Authentication methods Digital
Signature Authentication, Basic Authentication & Identity
Assertion Authentication. It checks which web service
having same through S1- S2- S3 service classes.
Screenshot 3: Selecting Security Authentication & QoS
The selection of different web services from S1,S2 and
S3 as shown below.
Screenshot 4: Showing selection of service candidate
Now, the job of security component is to analysis the
security authentication with considering the encryption
parameter of web services for the compatible web
services.
Screenshot 5: Security analysis of service candidate
After this the broker generates the all complete path of
the service candidate through S1-S2-S3. Since, there are
only two complete paths available.

http://localhost/WS/plane/4 - http://localhost/WS/hotel/5-|
http://localhost/WS/taxi/3 and http://localhost/WS/plane/8
- http://localhost/WS/hotel/5 - http://localhost/WS/taxi/3
The selection component selects the best path among
these two paths. By calculating Max and Min QoS values
and these values are then normalizing by using above
formula. Here the screenshot of Min and Max values of
parameter.
Screenshot 6: Calculate Min/Max values of QoS
The last part of selection component is to normalized
the QoS as explain above the response time, cost are in
decreasing and availability, reliability are in increasing so
that total QoS as shown below.
Screenshot 7: Normalize values of QoS
The above two complete path having total QoS.
http://localhost/WS/plane/8 - http://localhost/WS/hotel/5 -
http://localhost/WS/taxi/3 having high QoS i.e. Highest
total QoS: 5.0 i.e. by summing Total QoS of complete path
service candidate. From this , we can say that we obtained
the best web service complete paths as per the requestor
security authentication and QoS parameter.
4. CONCLUSION
The broker on client and provides a facility of secure
composition of web service by considering security
authentication methods and QoS parameter. By executing
the different process plan the broker returns a composite
path with high quality values of composition. The
components of the broker implemented a dynamic service
selection and matchmaking in order to compose and adjust
the business process. The composition was intended to
meet both requester and provider security requirements
with a suitable performance. The proposed approach
optimized the composition by considering QoS
parameters.
