Question

We have been asked by a customer which encryption methods are used for our remoting calls -- we use the secure="true" tokenImpersonationLevel="impersonation" attributes on the channel in the configuration file.

Is this using Kerberos? NTML? CHAPS?

I can't seem to find any documentation on this.

EDIT: We use TCP channels for remoting.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Well, a secure TCP channel (suppoert starting with .NET 2) uses SSPI to encrypt the data.

According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_Support_Provider_Interface The "Secure channel" is using differen encrpytions depending on the OS support, but SSL/TLS is part of it.
