   Anypoint EnterpriseSecurity is a collection of security features that enforce secure access to information in Mule applications.  This suite of security features provides various methods for applying security to Mule Service-OrientedArchitecture (SOA) implementations andWeb services.The following security features bridge gaps between trust boundaries in applications:

   Businesses mustensure that the valuable information they store and make available through software applications andWeb services is secure. Locked away and protected from unauthorized users and malicious attackers, protected resources — such as credit card information or Social Security numbers — must still be accessible to authorized legitimate users and systems in order to conduct business transactions.  To provide secure access to information, applications and services can apply a variety of security measures.The suite of security features inAnypoint Enterprise Security enables developers to protect applications according to security requirements, prevent security breaches and facilitate authorized access to data.

   Anypoint EnterpriseSecurity adds new features on top of of Mule ESB Enterprise’s existing security capabilities. Mule ESB already provides the following security features:  Mule Security Manager, client authentication and authorization on inbound requests as well as credential mapping for outbound calls  LDAP and third party identity management system integration  Validation of inbound requests through the SAML 2.0 federated identity standard  Secure FTP (SFTP)Transport that enables Mule flows to read and write to remote directories over the SSH protocol.

   Mule canencrypt properties in a .properties file. The .properties file in Mule stores data as key- value pairs. Mule flows may access this data — usernames, first and last names, credit card information — as the flow processes messages. In the context ofAnypoint Enterprise Security, Mule refers to the .properties file in which it safely stores encrypted properties as the Mule CredentialsVault.  Encrypt a properties file

   Mule canencrypt an entire payload or several fields of data within a message.Where sensitive information must move between users, yet remain hidden from them, a developer can encrypt message content to prevent unauthorized access.Typically, you may need to encrypt data such as a password, credit card number or social security number (SSN).  Encrypt a message payload Decrypt a message payload

   Mule usesdigital signatures to ensure that messages maintain integrity and authenticity. Mule can verify that an incoming Web service request originates from a valid source, and can sign an outgoingWeb service response to ensure its contents. Digital signatures ensure that a sender is valid, that a message is not modified in transit betweenWeb services, and that no unauthorized user has tampered with a message.  Add a digital signature to a message in Mule Sign part of a message payload Verify a digital signature in Mule

   Mule canfilter messages it receives to avoid processing invalid ones.With a filter processor in place, Mule discards any message it receives that does not match the filter’s parameters — a message from outside a set range of IP addresses, for example.  Filter unsecure messages

   Mule canapply a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) to messages to ensure message integrity. CRC uses an algorithm to apply a check value to a message when it enters a system, and verifies the value when the message leaves the system. If the entry and exit values do not match, CRC marks the message as changed. Generally, CRC32 (32 indicates the 33-bit polynomial length in the algorithm) detects unintentional changes to messages, such as the accumulation of “noise” between transmission points, but it can also detect unauthorized intentional changes – for instance, flagging a message that has been tampered with during transmission to change it into aTrojan horse.  Apply a CRC to a message

   Mule ESBallows you to authenticate requests via connectors using transport-specific or generic authentication methods. It also allows you to control method-level authorization on your components.The Security Manager is responsible for authenticating requests based on one or more security providers.  For information on the elements you can configure for the Security Manager, seeSecurity Manager Configuration Reference.The following sections provide links to information on configuring different types of security managers.

   Spring Securityis the next version of Acegi and provides a number of authentication and authorization providers such as JAAS, LDAP, CAS (Yale Central Authentication service), and DAO.The following topics will help you get started securing your flows using Spring Security:  Configuring the Spring Security Manager  Component Authorization Using Spring Security  Setting up LDAP Provider for Spring Security

   WS-Security isa standard protocol for applying security toWeb services. It contains specifications on how integrity and confidentiality in a SOAP message can be enforced via XML signatures and binary security tokens such as X.509 certificates and Kerberos tickets as well as encryption headers. It ensures end- to-end security by working in the application layer as opposed to the transport layer. Mule provides the following resources forWS- Security:  EnablingWS-Security - Describes how to secure your CXF connectors with WS-Security.  SAML Module - Mule now supports the SAML standard for exchange of security information between systems.This module is available in the enterprise edition of Mule as of version 2.2.3

   Mule alsosupports the following security technologies:  Encryption Strategies - Secure your messages by encrypting them.  PGP Security - Secure your messages by encrypting them with PGP.  Jaas Security

   As ofMule 3.5.0, Mule ESB can be configured to run in a FIPS 140-2 certified environment. Note that Mule does not run in FIPS security mode by default.There are two requirements:  Have a certified cryptography module installed in your Java environment  Adjust Mule ESB settings to run in FIPS security mode
