Law and Justice are domains which can extremely benefit from proper representation of judicial workflows capable of capturing the specificities of their processes. Workflows would provide the bases for automated systems capable of verified process handling. A suitable model would support both a clear understanding of the procedure, and the correct design of an automated workflow execution engine. In this paper we outline justice peculiarities and present enhanced workflows capable of describing them. We propose to enrich those workflows with security annotations describing critical aspects of the processes; and describe the design mechanisms to support such security requirements into a real application. The use of xml based Attribute Certificates is proposed as a solution to provide secure distributed management of user capabilities and certified data, thus completing the solution of enhanced workflows for judicial processing empowered with security requirements.
