Security of web services. What are the pros and cons of WSE3.0 and WCF?
I am developing a new set of web services at my company.
My manager asked me to provide a higher level of security for this, since the web services will handle sensitive information.
I searched the net for resources on how to secure a web service and the two runners-up are WSE3.0 and WCF.
But I have no idea which one is the best to choose.
My requirement stipulates that some web services should be called by a non .NET framework, so how to proceed?
Which one is the best in such a scenario?

If you have the luxury of creating a new development, DEFINITELY go to WCF!
It offers a lot more functionality, much more security, bindings, and additional extension points if you need to customize your system.
WCF also supports more standard interaction scenarios than anything else, so you should be more than covered in this area.
Here are some articles on WCF security:
No question here - this is a cotton dunk - go with the WCF !!
