Web services & SSL

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hi, I am new to web services and have to write one end of a B2B
application, ie my app will talk to a remote app and vice versa. The
developer of the other end is suggesting we use SSL for security.

I'm still trying to understand the security options, and I'm slightly
confused about using SSL. My understanding is that when using HTTPS,
decryption happens in the browser rather than within IIS. Since I will
not be using a browser to talk to the other end, where does the
decryption take place? Do I call a library routine to do this? Or
should I look at securing this app some other way, eg something within
WSE?

Thanks,

ChrisN
