Assembly:

System.Net.Security.dll

Source:

Gets a Boolean value that indicates whether this SslStream uses data encryption.

public:
 virtual property bool IsEncrypted { bool get(); };

public override bool IsEncrypted { get; }

member this.IsEncrypted : bool

Public Overrides ReadOnly Property IsEncrypted As Boolean

Property Value

Boolean

true if data is encrypted before being transmitted over the network and decrypted when it reaches the remote endpoint; otherwise false.

Examples

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

static void DisplaySecurityServices( SslStream^ stream )
{
   Console::WriteLine( L"Is authenticated: {0} as server? {1}", stream->IsAuthenticated, stream->IsServer );
   Console::WriteLine( L"IsSigned: {0}", stream->IsSigned );
   Console::WriteLine( L"Is Encrypted: {0}", stream->IsEncrypted );
   Console::WriteLine( L"Is mutually authenticated: {0}", stream->IsMutuallyAuthenticated );
}

static void DisplaySecurityServices(SslStream stream)
{
   Console.WriteLine("Is authenticated: {0} as server? {1}", stream.IsAuthenticated, stream.IsServer);
   Console.WriteLine("IsSigned: {0}", stream.IsSigned);
   Console.WriteLine("Is Encrypted: {0}", stream.IsEncrypted);
   Console.WriteLine("Is mutually authenticated: {0}", stream.IsMutuallyAuthenticated);
}

Private Shared Sub DisplaySecurityServices(stream As SslStream)
    Console.WriteLine("Is authenticated: {0} as server? {1}", stream.IsAuthenticated, stream.IsServer)
    Console.WriteLine("IsSigned: {0}", stream.IsSigned)
    Console.WriteLine("Is Encrypted: {0}", stream.IsEncrypted)
    Console.WriteLine("Is mutually authenticated: {0}", stream.IsMutuallyAuthenticated)
End Sub

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.
