WCF Service – Bindings default security

By | June 2, 2012

When we talk about security in Windows Communication Foundation, Itcan be at two different levels i.e.

  • Transport Level Security
  • Message Level Security

Different WCF bindings have security defaults 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)
