I am a bit confused, that is I want to create an api (for example an api for a charging gateway) using WCF and RESTful api. So what will be the good approach suggest by Microsoft, any fremework?

I would request to you guys please help me on that, any suggestion, article, could be anything is appropriated.

Thanks

I think that they are well documented and despite that, still poorly understood. Guess I'm not really understanding the question here.

There's examples on authentication, which is what most customers refer to as security. OTOH, you'd also want to limit the number of consecutive requests, prohibit malformed requests, and log everything that seems "out of the ordinary".

Thanks for your prompt response, well Do I must use the SSL & data encryption is required?
What is your opinion on that?

Thanks

For "private" data, always. That might even include a translation-service like Google Translate.
