ASP.NET Whitepapers http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa302408.aspx Sunday, 1 Jan 2006 This How To describes how you can pass a client certificate to a Web service for authentication from an ASP.NET Web application or from a Windows Forms application. You can install the client certificate in either the local machine store or the user store. If you store the client certificate in the local machine store, you must configure the Access Control List (ACL) on the certificate to allow access to your application’s account. If you are running a Windows Forms application, this account is your user account. If you are running an ASP.NET application, this account is the Network Service account by default on the Microsoft® Windows Server™ 2003 operating system. If you have configured a custom account to run your ASP.NET application, you must configure the ACL to grant access to the custom account. If you store the certificate in an account's user store, applications that run using that account identity can access the certificate from there. ASP.NET Whitepapers http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa302366.aspx Sunday, 1 Jan 2006 Internet Protocol security (IPSec) is a protocol, not a service, that provides encryption, integrity, and authentication services for IP-based network traffic. Because IPSec provides server-to-server protection, you can use IPSec to counter internal threats to the network, including eavesdropping, tampering, man in the middle attacks, IP spoofing, and other password-based attacks. IPSec is completely transparent to applications because encryption, integrity, and authentication services are implemented at the transport level. Applications continue to communicate normally with one another using TCP and UDP ports.
