Examples

The following code shows how to access and set this property.

WSHttpBinding binding = new WSHttpBinding();
binding.Security.Mode = SecurityMode.Message;
binding.Security.Message.AlgorithmSuite =
    System.ServiceModel.Security.SecurityAlgorithmSuite.Basic256;

Dim binding As New WSHttpBinding()
binding.Security.Mode = SecurityMode.Message
binding.Security.Message.AlgorithmSuite = _
System.ServiceModel.Security.SecurityAlgorithmSuite.Basic256

Remarks

This property is most relevant when working with a non-Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) platform that uses a set of algorithms that are different than the default. You should be aware of the strengths and weaknesses of the relevant algorithms when making modifications to this setting.
