Summary
Security is important in building services with Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. Microsoft provides a large number of documented patterns and best practices that you should follow when developing not only services but also applications in general.
Whether you require internal communication or external communication, security will always be an issue. You need to make sure that your data is secured in both memory and on the disk and across the network of the Internet.
Using secured transports and authentication both from a client and server perspective ensures the security of your data. Microsoft Visual Studio provides tools and built-in classes for encryption-level, authentication-level, and transport-level security.
