Re: how to create secure connection

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

If you are using windows CE the better group to ask is one of CE groups like
microsoft.public.windowsce.app.development and many others.

But any case TLS ( advanced SSL ) include all parts of security not only
encryption, which is only one aspect of security . You can find info on
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2246.txt . You can find ( not for CE ) example
on platform SDK

in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\Samples\Security\SSPI\SSL

hi

rather than using this api,i thought of doing it with SSL(Secure Socket
Layer)....Now i m trying to implement that using the following link

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wcecomm5/html/wce50conimplementingasecuresocket.asp

but when i m using setsocketopt() function..it is returning error
SO_SECURE
& SO_SEC_SSL are undeclared.....which lib shud i include for these
constants(i have already included Ws2_32.lib) and also if possible can
nybody
give me a sample code for implementing SSL....

thanks

If service and client both of your control you can create public key pair
with crypto API ( capi ) and you it on both sides for
encryption/decryption.
For details ask
microsoft.public.security NG , because my experience with it is .Net
where
C# security classes allow to do that very easy, but formats of .Net
differ
from ms capi , there is no need at all in WCF were all channels with
WS...
bindings are secure by default

a MFC gui) now i have a situation where i need to transfer username and
password over the network to the server from the gui.........but
