Typically messages are generated at the server for consumption by the associated application on the client who has authenticated with the creating domain. Security implications are dependent on what use data are put to at either the client or server end. The messages used with this type have no known active content which could cause direct damage to receiving parties. The primary risk associated with this content could be information disclosure if an SSL layer is not used in transport. Because in most instances encryption or digital signing are not required, the content should be nonetheless be scrutinized by generating parties to prevent damaging inputs. The content of these messages are subject to the same security considerations as any XML. See also security sections in RFC 2376. Interoperability considerations : This XML-based format can be manipulated by any tool that handles XML.
