  • 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.
