Hi,

I was created one WCF service. That is working fine. And my friend created one Android app. That app is consuming my WCF service by using corresponding my WCF service URLs and getting JSON data from my service that is fine. Here my issue is, my WCF service returning sensitive data to that Android app. So, i want to provide security to my WCF service. How can i achieve this? Please any body help me in this issue.

Add security to the service so you have to login. If its a RESTful service with your own authentication database, its a bit trickier, but otherwise you can add basic authentication or use your own. If you use your own, throw a class on the service for authentication and inherit from UserNamePasswordValidator then override the Validate method with your own code to check against your database.
You also need to use HTTPS and put a trusted certificate on the web server.
