Implementing Transport Message Security with WCF 4.0 and VS 2010 RC


 I hope most of you have downloaded VS 2010 RC by now and have started exploring its new features. I have received feedback in the past where developers have faced challenges in implementing security for WCF services in their applications. One of the nice features of WCF Security is that we can configure it using a custom user name – password validation mechanism.  In this two part series, I will explain how to create a certificate, create a WCF service configured to use this certificate and host the WCF service on IIS 7.5 with SSL. In this article, I will show you how to create a certificate and create a WCF service which uses this certificate. In this next part of this article, I will demonstrate how to host this WCF Service on IIS 7.5 with SSL.I am developing this solution on Windows 7 Enterprise edition. Creating X509 Certificate Step 1: Since we need to use SSL for transport security, a certificate must be created and configured with the WCF service. To create a certificate, follow the steps shown below:i)             Open command prompt of VS2010 and write the following command for creating a certificate:makecert.exe -sr LocalMachine -ss My -a sha1 -n CN

Protect against Phishing

Phishing means accidental visit to a website which resembles like the original site. This is infact a big threat to those who are connected to Internet as users are simply duped by stealing their credentials. The process will kick start with the hackers sending fraudulent emails (which may look similar with all details including the signatory part) to several IDs by guess work. Nearly, 95% of these emails will be addressed in the name of several prominent banks like ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank and others. It will request users to visit a provided web address and login by entering their username and password. These data will be stored as plain text in the hackers web server.

Initially, customers were not warned by bankers against these threats and as a result many of them lost their money through this route. But nowadays, banks have posted warning notices on their websites and new customers are aware against Phishing. Moreover, several print and television medias also played an important role in exposing this threat.

In order to protect yourselves against phishing, you have to follow the following steps

(1) Never click on a link which requests you to enter username and password to login.

(2) Visit banking related websites directly from your browser namely Internet Explorer or FireFox.

Note: Internet Explorer 8 has a feature to protect you against Phishing.

Two Quick Ways to Perform ASP.NET Authentication

Authentication is the process of validating a user based on a set of credentials such as username, password, and e-mail address.
