The Future Internet envisions a move toward widespread use of services as a way of networked
interaction. However while the technologies for developing and deploying services are well
established methods for ensuring trust and security are fewer and less mature. Lack of trust
and confidence in composed services and in their constituent parts is reckoned to be one of the
significant factors limiting widespread uptake of service-oriented computing. This
state-of-the-art survey illustrates the results of the Aniketos - Secure and Trustworthy
Composite Services - project (funded under the EU 7th Research Framework Programme). The papers
included in the book describe the solutions developed during the 4-year project to establish
and maintain trustworthiness and secure behavior in a constantly changing service environment.
They provide service developers and providers with a secure service development framework that
includes methods tools and security services supporting the design-time creation and run-time
composition of secure dynamic services where both the services and the threats are evolving.
The 16 chapters are organized in the following thematic sections: state of the art of secure
and trustworthy composite services the Aniketos platform design-time support framework
run-time support framework and case studies and evaluation.
