Security Binding Settings
Security binding settings control the way a security token is obtained or used. They are represented as a collection of property-value pairs, with the property keys defined by the enumeration WS_SECURITY_BINDING_PROPERTY. Each property in the collection has a reasonable default value. As a result, it is possible to define and use a security description without specifying any of the security binding settings.
For information on channel-wide security settings, with properties whose keys are defined by the WS_SECURITY_PROPERTY_ID enumeration, see Security Channel Settings.
