WSDL for digital signing of NSI SOAP message
http://code.google.com/p/ogf-nsi-project/issues/detail?id=47

Description of Issue:
Need to validate the integrity of an NSI message as well as validate it is  
issued from the expected NSA.

Discussion of Issue:
It was previously agreed that the "transport layer" would digitally sign  
the NSI message to verify it was not tampered with, and is from the  
expected sender. This can be accomplished by using WS-Secuirty policy  
definitions in the WSDL.  This mechanism is currently being used by OSCARS  
and is accepted as a common web service practice.

Resolution of Issue:
Add WS-Secuirty policy definitions to WSDL for digital signing of NSI SOAP  
message and NSA implement the solution.
