For security on Web Services you use something called WS-Security.
In .NET you can implement it using WSE, a Framework designed by Microsoft to
enhancing Web Services functionality.

There's a great article on the latest version of WSE here:

I'm currently using a basic web service for my Windows and web clients to access a Microsoft Access database on the web server. All works fine, but I'm worried about security. Without any precautions, anyone could use the web service to access or even modify information in the database. This, obviously, is not too good, so currently I've set a database password on the MS Access file. The trouble is, since web services are stateless the password...

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

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
