Hello Sharon,
AFIK SSL is limited to HTTP communication, although on an infrastructure
level you could look at IPSec.

If you are using .NET Remoting you could use an HTTP Channel and benefit
from the IIS security. You will get "out of the box" security, the
drawbacks are that you will need to istall IIS and host the remote
objects in ASP.NET of course the there is always a drawback: performance.
Here is an article about .net remoting security: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...SecNetch11.asp

Thanks for your reply David.
This means that with every installation of my server, i will have to install
IIS,
and possibly a certificate.
I guess i can use IIS only in the login phase, and send back a secret key,
which
will be used to encrypt further socket communications.
But i will use this option only as a last resort.

Sharon.

SSL is not limited to HTTP communication, it can be used with anything
that runs over TCP.
The OpenSSL page links to a page where openssl binaries for windows can
be downloaded: http://www.openssl.org/related/binaries.html
I can't find any official OpenSSL libs for .NET. I guess it should be
easy to write a .NET wrapper around that though. Someone on codeproject
seems to have done that already: http://www.codeproject.com/managedcpp/sslclasses.asp
Strange that there aren't any official/trustworthy .NET wrappers for
openssl yet.

It should be noted that in .NET 2.0, you can use the SslStream class to
perform SSL communications.

This won't work, since you can not decouple a good deal of the
infrastructure of ASP/ASP.NET from IIS.
In .NET 2.0, you should take a look at the SslStream class, as it will
do what you are looking for.
Hope this helps.

I'm not sure about all of ASP.NET, but Web Services can be hosted
outside of IIS using pure .NET. http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is...erviceStation/
Coupled with SslStream, you may be able to run your own https:// web
service.

Hi,
I tried to find the information over the internet but didn't find any
answers.
I'm looking for a server side code example of winsock accepting many
clients. I know that in VB.NET it is not implemented like in VB6. What
I've done is one client per socket. Meaning that each client used a
different port on the server, but I find it annoying.

Hi, I have synchronous communications between a server and client. To save bandwith the connection must persist. So the socket must stay open and only be re-opened in case of communications failure. To simulate failure, the server disconnects the socket. However, the client socket parameter shows an open socket: socket.connected is true, socket. Active is true, socket.poll(1,selectRead) is true. When checking the MS class documentation, it is...

I am makeing a Multicast server client setup and was wondering what the
difference is between Socket.Connect, and Socket.Bind.
It may be a stupid question, but I was just curious. Because I tried a
test, and I can't bind two sockets to the same port/ip but I can
connect with one socket, and bind with another to the same ip/port.

Hi all,
Excuse me if this is wrong forum for this but I've implemented a
protocol handler for my socket server using the state pattern and it
works fine until I attempt to introduce heartbeats which are sent
independently of the client process on the same socket to the server.
Now the state can be processing commands and finds that it has received
a message for the client and this contravenes the protocol and state

Let's assume a web application (in this case a browser-based game)
with a custom HTTP server built on PHP, and a client also built on
PHP. The client uses the server to access and change data. Even if the
client server communication is not directly visible to the user (who
logs into the client), the fact that the server is publicly accessible
(a port sniffer would be enough to find it) means the communication
has to be secured.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
