Public Property RequireDerivedKeys As Boolean
Property Value
true
if keys need to be derived from the token's key; otherwise, false
. The default is true
.
Remarks
WCF needs to derive keys from the token's key when performing signature and encryption using the token.
Derived keys originate in Secure Conversations where there is a shared security context so that the same security can be applied across all messages in the conversation. A security context token involves a shared secret, which is used for message signing and encryption. The shared secret is used to create derived keys. To maintain a high level of security through a lengthy conversation, new derived keys can be created periodically.
