set and value is undefined.

Examples

The following code shows how to set this property.

// Create a SymmetricSecurityBindingElement.
SymmetricSecurityBindingElement ssbe =
    new SymmetricSecurityBindingElement();

// Set the algorithm suite to one that uses 128-bit keys.
ssbe.DefaultAlgorithmSuite = SecurityAlgorithmSuite.Basic128;

   // Set MessageProtectionOrder to SignBeforeEncrypt.
ssbe.MessageProtectionOrder = MessageProtectionOrder.SignBeforeEncrypt;

Remarks

Note

If there is nothing in the message that is encrypted, the signature element is not encrypted even when the MessageProtectionOrder property is set to SignBeforeEncryptAndEncryptSignature. This behavior occurs even with system-provided bindings. However, the WSDL generated by WCF still contains the <sp:EncryptSignature> assertion.
