WCF - Interop - Understanding Protection Level

WCF: Interop – Understanding Protection level

 

Protection level is a very important parameter to consider while working on WCF Introp scenarios.

Can be defined on (only via code)

  1.    Service contract level
  2.    Operation contract level

 

[OperationContract(ProtectionLevel = ProtectionLevel.Sign)]

string GetData(int value);

 

 

It controls how the incoming soap envelope is protected.

 

Can be set to

  1. None
  2. Sign (Sign the message on channel to detect the tampering)
  3. Encrypt and sign (We encrypt the message first and then sign on transport layer) - Default

 

 Protocol to monitor - Https

Setting the protection level has no effect because the message protection is done by transport SSL channel.

 

Protocol to monitor – Http (Message Level security)

Binding: wsHttpBinding

Security Mode: Message

Client credential type: Windows

 

None

Observing <body> tag.

The request clearly contain two Id’s

  1. u:Id=" _0"
  2. e:EncryptedData Id=" _1"

 

The first u:Id indicates the request is getting signed

The second e:Id indicates the reference used for encryption.

<e:DataReference URI=" #_1"></e:DataReference>

</e:ReferenceList>

 

<KeyInfo> tag point us to “Security Token Reference” and then to specific UUID - eb82ae89-9305-49b5-a987-640415b2e3bb-10 .

</c:DerivedKeyToken>

 

This derived security token pointing to another URI URI=" #uuid-8a2ff1ad-4948-4c74-aac9-1810cf703ca1-4".

 

Which is nothing but our main security context token.

<c:SecurityContextToken u:Id="uuid-8a2ff1ad-4948-4c74-aac9-1810cf703ca1-4" xmlns:c="**https://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/02/sc**"\>

<c:Identifier>urn:uuid:1efe22cf-4fb4-417f-ac56-56b3efabd128</c:Identifier>

</c:SecurityContextToken>

 

 Clearly, Last request is created for a WCF service running with default Protection level (i.e. Encrypt and Sign)

 

 Understanding the soap request can really help in working on WCF introp scenarios.

    Hi Saurabh. Great article to understand the difference between None/Sign/Encrypt. Could you please upload the sample for the same. Thanks
