How to call Web Service Securely

va

I love Web Apps in ASP.NET 2.0 because you can easily deny users access to
pages by role or user.

But for desktop client to webservice methods, I am not sure what to do....

I am looking for the simplest and safest method or pattern to have my
Desktop client be able to call a web services securely.

Assume my webservice proxy has 15 methods. By securely, I want the Client
desktop app to pass some kind of simple username/password token -- something
- but not in plain text - so that acces to the web call either immediately
succeeds or fails. I don't know where to start - what is the simplest and
easiest way to accomplish this and maintain it.
Thanks for any simple answers.
