Attributes

Attribute Description

protectionLevel

Defines message-level security. Signing messages mitigates the risk of a third party tampering with the message while it is being transferred. Encryption provides data-level privacy during transport. Valid values include the following:

  • None: No protection.

  • Sign: Messages are signed.

  • EncryptAndSign: Messages are signed and encrypted.

The default is EncryptAndSign.

This attribute is of type ProtectionLevel.

Child Elements

None

Parent Elements

Element Description

<binding>

Defines all binding capabilities of the custom binding.

Remarks

Transports that use a stream-oriented protocol such as TCP and named pipes support stream-based transport upgrades. Specifically, WCF provides security upgrades. The configuration of this transport security is encapsulated by this configuration element as well as by <sslStreamSecurity>, which can be configured and added to a custom binding
