Examples

The following code example demonstrates displaying the value of this property.

static void DisplayAuthenticationProperties( NegotiateStream^ stream )
{
   Console::WriteLine( L"IsAuthenticated: {0}", stream->IsAuthenticated );
   Console::WriteLine( L"IsMutuallyAuthenticated: {0}", stream->IsMutuallyAuthenticated );
   Console::WriteLine( L"IsEncrypted: {0}", stream->IsEncrypted );
   Console::WriteLine( L"IsSigned: {0}", stream->IsSigned );
   Console::WriteLine( L"ImpersonationLevel: {0}", stream->ImpersonationLevel );
   Console::WriteLine( L"IsServer: {0}", stream->IsServer );
}

 static void DisplayAuthenticationProperties(NegotiateStream stream)
{
     Console.WriteLine("IsAuthenticated: {0}", stream.IsAuthenticated);
    Console.WriteLine("IsMutuallyAuthenticated: {0}", stream.IsMutuallyAuthenticated);
    Console.WriteLine("IsEncrypted: {0}", stream.IsEncrypted);
    Console.WriteLine("IsSigned: {0}", stream.IsSigned);
    Console.WriteLine("ImpersonationLevel: {0}", stream.ImpersonationLevel);
    Console.WriteLine("IsServer: {0}", stream.IsServer);
}

Remarks

Encryption helps to protect the privacy of the data; namely, it helps to ensure that while data is in transit it cannot be deciphered by third parties.
