https and soap extensions are good solutions; you can always ‘roll your own’ by encryting the inputs and outputs directly

[WebMethod] public string SecureMethodX(string secureInput) {     string plainText = decrypt(secureInput);     //do something...     string encryptedResult = encrypt(someResult);     return encryptedResult; } 

this becomes a pain if you have several methods, but if you have a specific one-off need (such as passing hardware fingerprints and/or license keys between client and server) then this solution is probably the simplest to implement
