Best way to implement crypting system

adi
Hi,

I'm developing a webservice and a client application to consume it's
services using v1.1 of the framework.
I wonder what's the best way to crypt the communication between the
webservice and the client. The webservice is a dedicated one, only
accessed by my client application and it should stay the same.
I can't use WSE because it is not supported by Windows 98 systems and
my client application should run on such machines.
My webservice usually returns a string as response. Should I only crypt
the response strings on the webservice and decrypt them on the client
side?
What's the best method to crypt/decrypt data so that speed will not be
very affected?

Thanks.

Can I ask the obvious question? Given that you can't use WSE etc, is
there an issue just using transport security i.e. https? Or are you
trying to do something specific? There are a lot more security
approaches available, but worth checking that the simplest option
isn't a fit first...

1. I need to communicate through port 80. It's the only port that's
almost guaranteed to be opened on every system.
2. I don't want my app to depend on webserver's configuration. Many
clients won't have https enabled and I don't want to do it event if
they want it. I rather keep my application in control.

Hello Everyone and thanks for your help in advance. I have read a great deal about code reuse and the development of the three-tier application, but am somewhat confused on some issues and am looking for input.

However, it appears that many...

The above URL is version 1.0 (draft) that resulted. IMO, it is not a replacement for the FAQ,...

I have a webservice that I wanted to return an ArrayList..Well the service compiles and runs when I have the output defined as ArrayList, but the WSDL defines the output as an Object so I was having a problem in the calling program. I searched online and found suggestions that I return an Array instead so I modified my code (below) to return an Array instead of an ArrayList. Now I get the message when I try to run just my webservice...

Hi, I wrote a multilanguage cms system a few years ago. Different languages are handled by loading php-files where each language-specific string is assigned to a normal php-variable ($LNG array).

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
