This the situation: I have one webservice without SSL, which provides two pages for the other web application. When the user submits these pages, an XML file with private information is sent to the webservice.
How can I provide the necessary privacy protection on the XML file? Is the one certificate good enough to give the appropriate security?
I’m not sure about this one, and am in the preparation phase of a project… So need to know the involved work on this part…
As an alternative to SSL you could encrypt the file yourself using any of the algorithms available in using System.Security.Cryptography but then you have to work out a mechanism to exchange your key(s).
However by far the easiest way will be to have both web services using SSL endpoints. That will take care of all your confidentiality, integrity and identity considerations in one fell swoop.
