It's not possible to move WS-Security to the transport layer. The reasons are:

 * WS-Security is implemented in JAX-WS/JAX-RPC handlers
   so there's tight junction of WS-Security with MessageContext.
   And MessageContext is constructed during the request/response
   huge processing.
 * WS-Security is highly configurable from Endpoint point of view.
   Users can specify custom WS-Security configuration for particular
   port or port operation. In transport layer the information i.e.
   operation that will be executed is unknown.
