Abstract
Web Services play a growing role in the geographic community. Efforts to establish a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) are coordinated by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). However, as the infrastructure gets established, and more content providers wish to offer their products, questions of security arise.
Geographical services often stand to gain tremendously from composition and delegation of requests, where one piece of data is constructed from several sets of data, using different sources. However, current standards by the OGC regulate only message transfers, without taking considerations of access control, security and privacy into account.
