Identifying compatible web service policies
First Claim
1. A method for identifying compatible web service policies, the method comprising:
- determining, by a computer system, a first set of identifiers by;
identifying a version of a first web service policy supported by a web service client, andfor each branch of the first web service policy in the version;
identifying each assertion within the branch of the first web service policy, andcreating an identifier from an arbitrary sized block of data containing each assertion within the branch of the first web service policy in the version;
receiving, by the computer system, a second set of identifiers, wherein each identifier of the second set of identifiers is indicative of a branch of a second web service policy supported by a web service, and wherein each identifier in the second set of identifiers represents the branch of the second web service policy in a particular version of the second web service policy;
comparing, by the computer system, the first set of identifiers supported by the web service client with the second set of identifiers supported by the web service;
identifying, by the computer system, using the comparison of the first set of identifiers with the second set of identifiers, a first identifier from the first set of identifiers and a second identifier from the second set of identifiers, wherein the first identifier and the second identifier are the same value;
determining, by the computer system, based on the first identifier and the second identifier being the same value, that the first web service policy and the second web service policy are compatible with each other; and
enforcing, by the computer system based on the first web service policy and the second web service policy being compatible with each other, the compatible web service policy between the web service and the web service client.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices are described for identifying compatible web service policies between a web service and a web service client. A first and second set of one or more identifiers linked to web service policies supported by the web service and web service client may be calculated, respectively. The sets of identifiers may be compared. Using the comparison, a number of common identifiers present in the first set of one or more identifiers linked to the web service policies supported by the web service and the second set of one or more identifiers linked to the web service policies supported by the web service client may be identified. Using the number of common identifiers, a web service policy of the web service compatible with a web service policy of the web service client may be identified.

determining, by a computer system, a first set of identifiers by; identifying a version of a first web service policy supported by a web service client, and for each branch of the first web service policy in the version; identifying each assertion within the branch of the first web service policy, and creating an identifier from an arbitrary sized block of data containing each assertion within the branch of the first web service policy in the version; receiving, by the computer system, a second set of identifiers, wherein each identifier of the second set of identifiers is indicative of a branch of a second web service policy supported by a web service, and wherein each identifier in the second set of identifiers represents the branch of the second web service policy in a particular version of the second web service policy; comparing, by the computer system, the first set of identifiers supported by the web service client with the second set of identifiers supported by the web service; identifying, by the computer system, using the comparison of the first set of identifiers with the second set of identifiers, a first identifier from the first set of identifiers and a second identifier from the second set of identifiers, wherein the first identifier and the second identifier are the same value; determining, by the computer system, based on the first identifier and the second identifier being the same value, that the first web service policy and the second web service policy are compatible with each other; and enforcing, by the computer system based on the first web service policy and the second web service policy being compatible with each other, the compatible web service policy between the web service and the web service client. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

8. A system for identifying compatible web service policies, the system comprising:
-
one or more processors; and a memory communicatively coupled with and readable by the one or more processors and having stored therein processor-readable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to; determine a first set of identifiers by; identifying a version of a first web service policy supported by a web service client, and for each branch of the first web service policy in the version; identifying each assertion within the branch of the first web service policy, and creating an identifier from an arbitrary sized block of data containing each assertion within the branch of the first web service policy in the version; receive a second set of identifiers, wherein each identifier of the second set of identifiers is indicative of a branch of a second web service policy supported by a web service, and wherein each identifier in the second set of identifiers represents the branch of the second web service policy in a particular version of the second web service policy; compare the first set of identifiers supported by the web service client with the second set of identifiers supported by the web service; identify, using the comparison of the first set of identifiers with the second set of identifiers, a first identifier from the first set of identifiers and a second identifier from the second set of identifiers, wherein the first identifier and the second identifier are the same value; determine, based on the first identifier and the second identifier being the same value, that the first web service policy and the second web service policy are compatible with each other; and enforce, based on the first web service policy and the second web service policy being compatible with each other, the compatible web service policy between the web service and the web service client. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory processor-readable medium for identifying compatible web service policies, comprising processor-readable instructions configured to cause one or more processors to:
-
determine a first set of identifiers by; identifying a version of a first web service policy supported by a web service client, and for each branch of the first web service policy in the version; identifying each assertion within the branch of the first web service policy, and creating an identifier from an arbitrary sized block of data containing each assertion within the branch of the first web service policy in the version; receive a second set of identifiers, wherein each identifier of the second set of identifiers is indicative of a branch of a second web service policy supported by a web service, and wherein each identifier in the second set of identifiers represents the branch of the second web service policy in a particular version of the second web service policy; compare the first set of identifiers supported by the web service client with the second set of identifiers supported by the web service; identify, using the comparison of the first set of identifiers with the second set of identifiers, a first identifier from the first set of identifiers and a second identifier from the second set of identifiers, wherein the first identifier and the second identifier are the same value; determine, based on the first identifier and the second identifier being the same value, that the first web service policy and the second web service policy are compatible with each other; and enforce, based on the first web service policy and the second web service policy being compatible with each other, the compatible web service policy between the web service and the web service client. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
