It depends on where your authentication logic resides. If you store your data on a server and you communicate with it via RIA services, then you have access to a built in authentication framework. Here is an example.
If you do communication via plain WCF, then you can still do authentication over WCF in many ways.
Example of using Windows Authentication over WCF: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744835(v=VS.95).aspx
For your question: best and safest….Both are good for either server-communication method you use. If these don’t seem
bestto you, you can always write your own security.
