MSDN Webcast: Windows Communication Foundation Top to Bottom (Part 10 of 15): Security Fundamentals (Level 200)  

The Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is secure by default, providing numerous baked-in binding scenarios that initialize various combinations of transport and message-level security settings. You almost always need to override the default binding configuration to provide the appropriate security constraints for your service boundaries. In this webcast, we start with the security basics: authentication, authorization, the difference between single hop and message-level security, and how to apply digital signatures and encryption. Next, we explore several common deployment scenarios for services within an enterprise system and the associated security configurations that would apply to those scenarios. Join this session as we learn how to configure security for key scenarios without getting lost in the mire of binding configurations.
