My first port of call is to use WCF. The interfaces it exposes are not .Net specific.

It is a huge subject to really sum up but as far as security is concerned there is nothing it cant do.

try this as a starting point

Build a REST based web service. The benefit of REST based web service is that it can be easily consumed from large variety of languages. For security you can use basic authentication over ssl.

This can be your starting point REST in Windows Communication Foundation

As George said, it sounds like you'll need a web service. Look in to WCF.

Set up a web service. WSDL is universal. It will provide great flexibility while providing an abstract service your clients can call -- which is client independent.
