VBUG Coventry: Securing Web Services with WCF with Chris Seary

Date: Wednesday 9 July 2008........WCF offers a strong array of tools for adding security to all boundaries of your application. Chris will guide you through implementing WCF security, and also what sort of protection is the best choice for each scenario. When is it best to use message level security (WS-Security) instead of SSL? Why use application security instead of IPSec? How do you provide integrity? Chris has answered these questions for large scale enterprise applications in government, banking and defence. The session will go into deep technical detail, and offers plenty of sample code for your own implementations. Chris Seary works as a Senior Developer for an IT and management consultancy, Charteris plc(http://www.charteris.com). He has worked with many different Microsoft technologies, and for the last few years has specialised in the security aspects of enterprise-level .NET systems. He regularly contributes to forums, writes articles and white papers, and has a blog devoted (mainly) to IT security (http://blog.searyblog.com/). PLEASE ARRIVE FROM 18.00 FOR PROMPT 18.30 START
