Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for sharing communication session information, such as encryption keys for data protection, among multiple communication operations and/or multiple users. Multiple users can share the same communication session concurrently, with each message being individually authenticated. The provided techniques include receiving, at a client application, a first request to send a first web service message to a web service application or group of web services, retrieving existing communication session information having the same sharing characteristics as the first request, where the sharing characteristics include web service environment information and/or request information, including the user credentials associated with the user in the message and in each subsequent message communicated using the existing communication session information, and communicating the web service message to the web service application or group of web services using the existing communication session information.
