WCF Services- Bydefault Security for Bindings

This is very important thing regarding the security in WCF services.


Security in Windows Communication Foundation i.e. WCF can be divided at two levels-
  1. Transport Level Security
  2. Message Level Security

Some bindings are there with bydefault security as follows-


1. BasicHttpBinding

  • No Security
  • Interopable with ASMX Web Services

2. WsHttpBinding

  • Message Level Security
  • SOAP Messages are encrypted

3. NetTcpBinding

  • Transport Level Security
  • Packets are encrypted but not the messages (SOAP messages)
