The document provides an overview of Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and its associated security features, detailing its architecture, service-oriented principles, and various communication mechanisms. It covers the importance of service compatibility, communication protocols, and the different security modes available for WCF services. Additionally, it includes demonstrations of WCF applications and references for further learning.
Basics of WCF and its Security
- 1. Getting started with Windows Communication Foundation & its Security By, Ratan Sharma ratans@mindfiresolutions.com

- 3. COM Component object model DCOM Distributed COM .Net Remoting COM + Mechanism for communicating between applications and components running on the Windows platform for same computer. Mechanism for communicating between applications and components running on other computers over a network. Integration with Microsoft Transaction Server so applications could group operations on components together into transactions. A client application could access a remote object hosted by a remote server application as if it were running locally, inside the client application Mechanism for communicating between applications and components running on the Windows platform for same computer. Inter Process Communication Technologies
- 5. BALANCE between push and pull.. (Common Data format & Common Protocol) Choice: How do you want to get info? How do you want to deliver it?
- 6. What is WCF ? Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is a technology for developing applications based on service-oriented architecture (SOA).
- 7. The four tenets of service orientation Service compatibility is determined based on policyService compatibility is determined based on policy Services share schema and contract, not classServices share schema and contract, not class Services are AutonomousServices are Autonomous Boundaries are ExplicitBoundaries are Explicit
- 8. Why WCF ?? → Multiple protocol support → Full duplex communication → Different hosting environment → Different serializer option → Messages can be queued using persistence queuing. As a result, no delays occur, even under high traffic conditions.

- 10. WCF Architecture
- 11. How to reach your service ? Address : URI of the WCF service - Transport Scheme -Server location - Port - Path Binding : Defines how the WCF service handles the request - BasicHttpBinding, NettcpBinding etc Contract : Defines what public data and interfaces the WCF service provides to the client. - Service contract, Data Contract, Fault Contract, Message Contract End Point

- 15. Security Mode 5 possible security modes → None → Transport → Message → Both (only msmq support this) → TransportWithMessageCredential → TransportCredentialOnly
- 16. Bindings supporting Transport, Message and mixed mode Binding Transport Mode? Message Mode? Mixed Mode?
