WCF FAQ Part 3 - 10 security related FAQ

In this article we will start with transport and message security understanding. We will then see simple code samples of how to implement transport and message security using WsHTTP bindings. We will also see what is the difference between 'BasicHttpBinding' and 'WsHttpBinding' with the help of a simple source code. WCF security is a huge topic by itself, but we are sure with this article you will get a quick start of how to go about WCF security.

7 simple steps to enable HTTPS on WCF WsHttp bindings

When we talk about WCF security there are two ways one is the transport level security and the other is message level security. Transport level security is nothing but built in security by protocols itself. In message level security we need to encrypt the data, in other words security is injected in the data itself. In this article we will look in to how we can implement transport level security using WsHttp bindings. We do not need to do extra development for transport level security because it's more of the protocols inherent security model. In this article we will implement WsHttp using HTTPS as transport security.
