I have a WCF service, which was initially setup using BasicHttpBinding, but someone suggested I switch over to WsHttpBinding, as that’s more secure. I see there is a way to setup the security feature of WsHttpBinding, but I was wondering is it already secured by default? Are the messages that go from my service already encrypted in some format, if so does anyone what security/algorithm is used, as we need to provide a document for the project and is security is used need to let them know which one.

thank you.

    The WsHttpBinding will use Message security by default, which means that your message (payload) is encrypted and signed per the WS-Security specification. However, you can add more security on top of this by using Transport security with an SSL certificate. Microsoft has a pretty detailed article on Message Security, which you should definitely read.
