Attributes and Elements

The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and parent elements

Attributes

Attribute	Description
mode	Optional. Specifies the type of security that is applied. The default is Message. This attribute is of type SecurityMode.

Mode Attribute

Value	Description
None	Security is disabled.
Transport	Security is provided using HTTPS. The service needs to be configured with SSL certificates. The message is entirely secured using HTTPS and is authenticated by the client using the service’s SSL certificate. The client authentication is controlled through the ClientCredentials attribute. of the <transport>.
Message	Security is provided using SOAP message security. By default, the SOAP body is Encrypted and Signed. This mode offers a variety of features, such as whether the service credentials are available at the client out of band, the algorithm suite to use, and what level of protection to apply to the message body through the Security.Message property. Client authentication is performed once per session and the results of authentication are cached for the duration of the session.
TransportWithMessageCredential	In this mode, HTTPS provides integrity, confidentiality, and server authentication, and SOAP message security provides client authentication. By default, client authentication is performed once per session and the results of authentication are cached for the duration of the session.

<message> of <wsHttpBinding>	Defines the security settings for the message. This element corresponds to the MessageSecurityOverHttpElement type.
